Sausage Bites in

Mustard Wine Sauce

Preparing this dish is a breeze, and it will be

a hit every time – it is in the Test Kitchen! Pair

this with a nice crusty bread and a favorite

bottle of wine. Your guests will love you.

Setting: Brown/Sauté

Makes 48 appetizer servings

48

ounces smoked chicken or turkey

sausages, cut on the diagonal into

½-inch slices

½

tablespoon olive oil

4

small to medium onions, peeled,

halved and cut into ½-inch pieces

3

cups dry white wine

½

cup Dijon mustard

2

tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

for garnish

1.

Set the Multicooker to Brown/Sauté at

400°F. Cooking in batches, add about

1

/

3

of the sausages to the hot cooking pot,

browning each batch for about 8 minutes.

You really want to get the sausages nice

and brown to bring out the great flavors.

This step should take about 20 to 22

minutes total.

2.

Once the sausages are browned, put

them into the pot and reduce the heat to

350°F. Add the oil. Once oil is hot, add the

onions and cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until

softened and translucent – this brings out

the sweetness of the onions, which adds to

the dish.

3.

Raise the heat again to 400°F and add the

wine. Bring the wine to a boil and let cook

until reduced by about two thirds, stirring

occasionally.

4.

Finally, reduce the heat down to a

simmer, to about 300°F, and stir in the

Dijon. Simmer until completely coated

and slightly thickened.

5. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Pork Dumplings

The great thing about steaming is that the

food is ready in no time. In just 30 minutes,

you can have homemade pork dumplings.

Setting: Steam

Makes 18 dumplings

nonstick cooking spray

1

quart water for steaming, plus more

for assembling wontons

6

ounces ground pork

½

tablespoon finely chopped ginger

1½

tablespoons finely chopped scallions

1

tablespoon reduced-sodium soy

sauce, plus more for serving

2

teaspoons sesame oil

1½

teaspoons rice vinegar

2

tablespoons chopped apple, (about

¼ of a peeled and cored apple)

pinch ground mustard

18

wonton wrappers

1.

Lightly coat the steaming rack with nonstick

cooking spray. Reserve.

2.

Put 1 quart of water into the cooking pot of

the Multicooker.

3.

Put all ingredients except the wonton

wrappers into a large bowl. Gently toss with

hands to fully combine, making sure not to

over-mix or the filling will be too tough.

4.

Set up your work station with a small bowl

of water and a pastry brush, large plate or

cutting board, package of wonton wrappers,

and wonton filling. On a clean surface, line

up 3 to 6 wonton wrappers at a time. Place

about ½ tablespoon of filling in the middle

of each wrapper. Brush the edges of the

wrappers with a small amount of water and

fold bottom point up, making a triangle.

Either crimp all edges like a pleat or fold

up the two end points and pinch to seal,

using more water if needed. Continue to fill

the remaining wontons. Keep the prepared

wontons on a clean tray or cutting board

and cover with plastic so as not to dry out.

Transfer all filled dumplings to the steaming

rack and place rack in the unit; cover.

5.

Set the unit to Steam. Let steam for about

15 minutes.

6.

These are delicious served with soy sauce.
