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 and 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 extra virgin olive oil
4 small-to-medium onions, 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 Cuisinart
Sauté at 400°F. Cooking in batches,
add about / of the sausages to the hot
1
3
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 in total.
2. Once the sausages are browned, put all 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 425°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.
Let 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 16 dumplings
nonstick cooking spray
1 quart water for steaming and for
assembling wontons
6 ounces ground pork
½ tablespoon finely chopped ginger
1½ tablespoons finely chopped scallions
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1½ teaspoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped apple, (about
¼ of a chopped and cored apple)
pinch ground mustard
16 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 Cuisinart
®
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. 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.
