Ingredients

  • 1 dried chipotle chile
  • 2 Granny Smith apples, halved and cored, plus 1/2 apple cut into matchsticks, for garnish (optional)
  • 2 ounces rye bread, crusts removed and bread torn into bite-size pieces (1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup hard cider
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • Kosher salt
  • Four 4-ounce smoked pork sausages or cheddar wursts
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 pound broccoli, cut into 1-inch florets
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 °. In a bowl, cover the chipotle with hot water and let stand until softened, 30 minutes. Bake the halved apples cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet for 30 minutes, until tender. Let cool. Scoop the apple pulp into a food processor and discard the skins. Stem, seed and chop the chipotle; add it to the food processor and puree.
  2. Meanwhile, spread the bread in a pie plate and bake the pieces for about 10 minutes, until golden.
  3. In a saucepan, boil the hard cider with the vinegar, sugar and apple puree. Simmer, stirring, until reduced to 3/4 cup, 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and season with salt.
  4. Light a grill. Grill the sausages over moderate heat, turning, until lightly charred on both sides and cooked through, 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil.
  5. In a skillet, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the broccoli and season with salt. Cover and cook until browned, 2 minutes. Stir in the mustard, caraway, cider sauce and 1/2 cup of water and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, stir in the butter and season with salt. Serve the sausages with the broccoli and sauce, garnishing with the bread crumbs and apple matchsticks.
