Dierbergs Milk Italian Chicken Sausage
What it is
This is a fully cooked chicken sausage that has been seasoned with Italian herbs and spices. It is made with milk, which contributes to its tender texture and mild flavor profile. The sausage is typically sold in a pre-portioned package, making it convenient for quick meals. It is a versatile ingredient that can be incorporated into a variety of dishes.
How people cook with it
This Italian-style chicken sausage is a convenient way to add savory flavor to many meals. It pairs well with a wide range of ingredients and cooking methods.
- Added to pasta sauces
- Cooked with scrambled eggs
- Grilled for sandwiches
- Simmered in stews
To prepare, simply remove the sausage from its packaging. You can cook it by pan-frying, grilling, or baking until heated through. For added flavor, consider browning it first to render some of the fat and develop a nice crust. It can be served whole, sliced, or crumbled into other dishes. When adding to sauces or stews, it can be simmered for a short period to allow the flavors to meld.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to pork-based Italian sausages, this chicken version is typically leaner and has a milder taste. The inclusion of milk also contributes to a softer, more yielding texture. Its flavor profile is generally less robust than some pork sausages, making it a good choice when you want a less dominant sausage flavor.
How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused portion of the sausage promptly. It should be kept in its original packaging or transferred to an airtight container. Properly stored, it will maintain its quality for several days in the refrigerator.
