Grilled Sausage, Peppers, Onions & Potatoes

July 27, 2009

Grilled sausage makes a good weekday dinner or meal for a crowd. If cooking for lots of people, try a variety of sausage flavors. Remember, grill sausage slowly over medium heat to prevent the casings from splitting open and the sausages from becoming too dry.

Fresh raw sausage links (Italian pork, chicken, duck or lamb even)
Red or white new potatoes
Red pepper
Vidalia Onion
Olive Oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Good mustard

To Prepare Vegetables:
1. Place potatoes in a pot of water with salt. Bring to a boil and cook until just tender. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking. Place in refrigerator. When chilled, slice in 1 inch pieces.
2. Peel onion and slice in rings that are about 1 inch thick.
3. Cut and de-seed peppers into quarters and trim off the ends so they lie flat on the grill.
4. Brush potatoes, onion and peppers with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Bring grill to medium heat. Add sausages, peppers, onions and potatoes. Grill (with the lid closed) until tender and browned, but not too charred. The sausage will need to cook for about 15 minutes, turning every so often for even cooking. Remove onions, peppers and potatoes from grill once brown and tender. If needed, turn up the heat and continue to grill sausage until brown.

Serve with pickles, summer corn salad and that great underrated condiment – mustard.
