summer sausage question?

Question

I received a couple of logs of summer sausage as Christmas gifts.I love it with cheese and cracker but you can only eat so much of that. I know it freezes well too.But does anyone know how it can be used in recipes maybe for a main dish or something?These logs are the 3 pound size so I have a lot of it.I was just looking for some way to use it besides crackers or putting it in the freezer. Any ideas? thanks

Answer 1

Letcho-a very flavorful Slovakian dish served over rice


INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 onions, sliced
2 green or red bell peppers, seeded and chopped
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
2 teaspoons mild paprika, or to taste
4 tomatoes, chopped
9 ounces hot pepperoni sticks or summer sausage, sliced

DIRECTIONS
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and green peppers; cook and stir until soft. Season with salt, pepper and paprika. Put in tomatoes, cover and simmer for about 5 minutes.
In a separate skillet, fry the pepperoni or sausage until browned. Mix into the pan with the tomatoes. Cover and simmer for 5 more minutes. Serve over hot cooked rice.

Answer 2

It is called summer sausage due to the fact that it doesn't need to be kept cold, which was great before refrigeration came along. I hope this helps. Good luck!

Answer 3

I would try substituting it in for any recipe that you would use polish sausages or bratwurst in.

Answer 4

It's fantastic on homemade pizza.
