Keto Sausages w Caramelized Onion Sauce
How to Make It
Step 1
Start by caramelizing the onions, since this will take the longest part. Melt the butter in a shallow pan over low heat. You’ll need to keep the heat “low and slow” throughout the recipe, and this is important to keep in mind. When the butter is melted, add very thin-sliced onions to the pan. You can use a kitchen mandolin, paring knife, or any sharp utility knife to achieve thin slices. Stir the onions around in the butter, and place a lid on the pan.
Step 2
Let the onions cook in the butter, undisturbed over low heat until they turn yellow and a little transparent. If the onions start to burn or turn dark before they reach this point, reduce the heat. After the onions reach some transparency, give them a quick stir before returning the lid to the pan, keeping as much heat trapped as possible. Repeat this process of giving a quick stir and leaving the onions to cook until you see a caramelized color starting to take place. This may take up to 15 minutes. Once your onions have begun caramelizing, stir minced garlic, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce into the pan.
Step 3
Place the lid over the pan again, and let the sauce bubble over low heat for 1-2 minutes. While this is occurring, place 3 pieces or links of your preferred style of pork sausage in a new pan over medium-high heat. Let the sausage cook on all sides until they char and may even burst slightly. When the sausages have reached this stage, leave them aside to rest. Don’t worry, they will cook for longer a little later.
Step 4
By now, the onion sauce should be reduced and the onions will be clearly caramelized with a jammy texture. Pour the beef broth into the sauce and return the lid once more to the pan. Turn the stove heat up until the sauce is bubbling again. Place the sausages into the onion sauce, and use a spoon to ladle some of the onions and sauce over them. With the lid on, let the sausages and onion sauce stew together for about 5 minutes. The sauce will have reduced a little more, leaving a jammy onion liquid that can be spooned over the sausages for serving.
