Marx Food recently broke up one of their packages of the Game Sausage Sampler into the 11 different varieties it contains. Then, they sent four links of one random variety to 11 different selected bloggers, to create a recipe for their recipe contest.
I was one of the lucky ones!
I was sent the Wild Boar Bratwurst with Cheddar and Beer.
So I made Wontons!
I started with removing the sausage from their casings, and frying the meat up. Then I set that aside while I caramelize onions and apples together. I sauteed them till they were sweet and just turning that beautiful golden color.
I also added some fresh Garlic Scape from the farmers market. This is my new find and I love using them. They are used a lot in Asian cooking and can be used raw, steamed, sauteed, stir-fried, grilled, pretty much anyway you would want to use them. You cut off the floppy tip and and the flower bud. The flower bud can be a little bitter and it’s barely noticeable in new scapes, a bit of a bulge at the base of the top of the stem.
After I made my mixture, I began wrapping it in wontons. Some had Cheddar cheese and some did not. We favored the one’s with cheese. Go figure!!!
I made these cute little shapes but half way through, I changed to the folded over triangle. They were easier to make but I like this shape better.
Waiting for the oil to heat up!
These were so good. The sweetness from the onions and apples combined with the sausage and Cheddar cheese were a perfect combination. All wrapped up in a pretty and crunchy package.
We had these for dinner with a simple salad. I also froze half for an appetizer that I’ll be serving during another wine pairing dinner this summer.
Enjoy!
