- 2 slices of bread for toasting
Sauce and Seasoning- 3 Tbsp tomato sauce
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 knob of butter
- 2 Tbsp 100% grape juice
- 1 Tbsp vinegar
- 3 Tbsp tomato sauce
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 knob of butter
- 2 Tbsp 100% grape juice

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by trimming the base of the enoki mushrooms and rinsing them thoroughly under cold water. Once clean, gently separate the mushrooms into strands by hand. Peel the onion and slice it into thin, long strips. Preparing your ingredients like this beforehand will make the cooking process much smoother.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of olive oil. Add the prepared enoki mushrooms, sliced onion, and cherry tomatoes to the pan. Sauté until the vegetables are lightly browned and fragrant, allowing their natural sweetness to develop. Cooking them down will intensify their flavors.
Step 3
Once the vegetables are tender and softened, stir in 3 tablespoons of tomato sauce. Cook everything together, allowing the sauce to coat the vegetables beautifully. Season with salt and black pepper to your preference. For a richer finish, add a knob of butter and let it melt into the sauce, stirring gently to incorporate. The butter adds a wonderful silkiness and depth of flavor.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to cook the sausages. Make 4-5 diagonal slits across the surface of each sausage. These cuts help prevent them from bursting during cooking and allow the flavors to penetrate better. Lightly oil another pan, place the scored sausages in it, and roll them around to ensure they are evenly browned and cooked through. Aim for a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
Step 5
Spoon the flavorful homemade tomato sauce onto a serving plate. Arrange the beautifully grilled sausages on top of the sauce. To add a sophisticated touch and a burst of bright flavor, drizzle 2 tablespoons of 100% grape juice and 1 tablespoon of vinegar over the sausages and sauce. This combination creates a unique, gourmet taste that elevates the entire dish.
Step 6
Serve this delicious dish with toasted slices of bread and a side of fresh, tender baby greens. The toasted bread is perfect for scooping up the extra sauce and sausage bits. For an extra touch of elegance, you can garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Enjoy your restaurant-quality meal at home!
