The interesting combination of sausage, leeks, cabbage, pecans, and vinegar allowed me to start off in a different direction. As a result, the Friday Night Challenge yielded Sausage rolls with Pecan Leek Fritters.
To make: Pull full-sized cabbage leaves and drop into boiling water until tender. Remove and drain. Fry the sausage (I used ground turkey sausage).
Dice the leeks finely and put in a small amount of water; boil for several minutes until they are very soft. Drain.
Chop the pecan halves (around 1/4 c.) to a fine consistency. Form the leeks into small fritters and coat with the pecan crumbs. Fry in the turkey grease until just warmed and lightly browned.
Put 1/2 c. balsamic vinegar in a sauce pan and reduce to a syrup state. Pour on the finished fritters and across the sausage rolls.
Enjoy!
these sound really good! I guess it's the Irish girl in me ;)
