Treat your ingredients with care...
- Polish sausages — Look for high-quality sausages made with a blend of pork and beef for the best flavor and texture. If you prefer a spicier version, you can use hot Polish sausages.
- Onions — Thinly slice the onions to ensure they caramelize evenly. Cooking them low and slow will result in a sweet and tender texture.
Tips & Tricks
- For added smokiness, you can sprinkle a pinch of smoked salt over the caramelized onions.
- If you prefer a softer texture for the onions, cover the skillet while they are cooking to trap the steam and help them soften.
- Customize your Maxwell Street Polish Sausage by adding your favorite condiments such as mustard, ketchup, or pickles.
- If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the sausages on a stovetop grill pan or under the broiler in your oven.
- Leftover caramelized onions can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days and used as a delicious topping for burgers, sandwiches, or omelets.
Serving advice
Serve the Maxwell Street Polish Sausage with a side of crispy French fries or coleslaw for a complete and satisfying meal.
Presentation advice
Arrange the grilled sausages on a platter, topped with a generous amount of caramelized onions. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color.
