Ingredients

• 8 pieces pork sausages
• 2 large yellow onions
• 1 inch fresh ginger
• 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp preferred)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the onions into half-moon shapes.

Step 2

Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger.

Step 3

Core the apples and slice them into thin wedges.

Step 4

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the pork sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. This will take about 12-15 minutes. Transfer the sausages to a plate and keep warm.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once melted, add the sliced onions and grated ginger. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and starting to caramelize.

Step 6

Sprinkle the brown sugar over the onions and stir it in. Cook for another 2 minutes to enhance the caramelization.

Step 7

Add the apple slices to the onions and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the apples are softened but still hold their shape.

Step 8

Season the onion and apple mixture with dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Step 9

Deglaze the skillet by adding balsamic vinegar. Stir well to incorporate all the flavors and cook for 1-2 minutes until the liquid slightly reduces.

Step 10

Return the sausages to the skillet with the onion and apple mixture. Let everything heat through for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Serve the sausages on a plate, topped generously with the ginger onion and apple mixture. Enjoy!
