Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links sausages
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large yellow onions
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 loaves French baguettes
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sausages to the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
While the sausages are cooking, peel the onions and slice them thinly.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions, sprinkle with brown sugar, and stir to coat. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized.
Add the balsamic vinegar to the onions and stir. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until sticky and fragrant. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Slice the baguettes lengthwise but don't cut all the way through to create a pocket for the filling.
Spread 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard on the inside of each baguette.
Place two cooked sausages in each baguette and top generously with the sticky onion mixture.
Wrap the baguettes loosely in foil and place in the preheated oven for 5 minutes to warm through.
Remove from the oven, unwrap the foil, and serve the baguettes warm with your favorite side or as a stand-alone meal.
