Ingredients
-
For the Spicy Mustard Dip:
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 6 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
- 2 teaspoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 2 cloves garlic, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
-
For the Sausages:
- 5 pounds Italian sausage (mild, sweet, or hot)
- 1 bottle Chardonnay (or substitute with apple cider or broth)
Instructions
- Make the Spicy Mustard Dip: In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, yellow mustard, sriracha, garlic, paprika, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and fully combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Cook the Sausages: Slice the Italian sausage links into bite-sized pieces (each link should yield about 4 pieces). In a large stockpot, add sausage slices and pour in the Chardonnay. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 40 minutes.
- Broil the Sausages: Preheat the broiler to high. Line a metal baking sheet with aluminum foil. Once sausages are done simmering, transfer them to the baking sheet. Broil the sausages 4 inches below the heating element for 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Flip and broil the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Place sausage bites on a platter and serve with the spicy mustard dip on the side.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, use hot Italian sausages.
- Swap Chardonnay with a dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio for similar flavor.
- Can be prepared in advance. Reheat sausage bites in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes, or enjoy the dip at room temperature or cold.
