Grilled Sausage Food

GRILLED SAUSAGE PATTIES

Steps:

• Combine ground pork, red wine, garlic, salt, parsley, paprika, rosemary, white pepper, and black pepper in a bowl and mix until evenly combined; do not overmix. Let sit in the fridge at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, in order for flavors to meld.
• Preheat an outdoor grill over medium-high heat.
• Divide the meat into 4 equal portions and form into patties. Cook on the preheated grill about 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

GRILLED SAUSAGE WITH SPICY SAUCE

Steps:

• Soak 8 to 10 wooden skewers in water for about 20 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to medium and brush with the oil. Thread the sausage onto the skewers, leaving space between each piece. Grill until slightly crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Mix the ketchup, mustard and hot sauce in a bowl. Serve with the sausage for dipping.
• Serve this dish with Tangy Corn Relish.
• Preheat a grill to medium-high. Brush the corn with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle with the cumin, and salt and pepper to taste. Grill until golden and toasted on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes, turning as needed.
• Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, the sweet piquante peppers, onion, gherkins, parsley, jalapeno and sugar in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Slice the corn kernels off the cobs and toss with the relish. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

GRILLED SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Mix the balsamic vinegar, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a large bowl. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons olive oil until emulsified. Add the red pepper, green pepper, serrano pepper, onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and toss until well combined.
• Place the basket on a baking sheet and transfer the peppers and onions to the center, letting any extra marinade drip off. Place 3 links of sausage on either side of the veggies. Close and secure the basket.
• Place the grill basket on the grill and cook, flipping once, until the vegetables and sausages start to brown and caramelize and an instant read thermometer inserted into a sausage measures 160 degrees F, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix the remaining 3 tablespoons oil, remaining 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a small bowl. Open the hoagie rolls and brush the insides with the herb oil. Grill until toasted, about 1 minute.
• Remove to a platter and place 2 overlapping slices provolone on each roll (do not allow cheese to hang over the sides). Return the rolls to the grill, cover, and cook until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Remove to a platter.
• Remove the peppers and onions from the basket and slice thinly. Cut each link of sausage in half on a deep bias and place in a hoagie roll. Divide the peppers and onions among the rolls and spoon 2 tablespoons warm marinara on top. Serve the hoagies with the remaining marinara on the side for dipping.

GRILLED SAUSAGES (SOUTHERN LIVING)

Steps:

• Preheat grill to 350 to 400 (medium-high). Bring sausages and beer to a boil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, and let stand 10 minutes. Drain.
• Cut a 1/2-inch-deep wedge from top of each roll. Reserve wedges for another use if desired. Cut rolls in half crosswise.
• Grill sausages, covered with grill lid, over medium-high heat 8-10 minutes on each side or to desired degree of doneness.
• Place 1 sausage in each roll half. Spoon desired amount of Sweet Pepper-Onion Relish over each sausage.
• Note: I used Johnsonville Stadium Style Brats and Yuengling Traditional Lager.

GRILLED SAUSAGES WITH SUMMER VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Place the first 5 ingredients in a blender; if desired, add pepper sauce. Cover and process until blended., Cut peppers lengthwise in half; remove seeds. Cut eggplant lengthwise into 1/2-in.-thick slices. Cut zucchini and yellow squash lengthwise into quarters. Place all vegetables in a large bowl; drizzle with 1/2 cup of the sauce and toss to coat., Place vegetables on a greased grill rack. Grill, covered, over medium heat 8-10 minutes or until tender and lightly charred, turning once. Cool slightly. Reduce grill temperature to medium-low heat., Cut vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Toss with additional 1/4 cup sauce; keep warm., Grill sausages, covered, over medium-low heat 15-20 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160° for pork sausages (165° for turkey sausages), turning occasionally. Remove sausages from grill; toss with remaining sauce. Serve with vegetables.

GRILLED SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Prepare grill.
• Grill fresh sausages on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning them, 10 to 15 minutes, or until cooked through (170°F. on an instant-read thermometer). Grill smoked sausages on rack, turning them, 5 to 8 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve sausages with ketchup and mustards on bread.
• Make the tomato ketchup:
• In a heavy kettle cook onions, garlic, and tomatoes, covered, over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are very soft, about 40 minutes. Force mixture through a food mill fitted with coarse disk into a bowl.
• In cleaned kettle stir together purée, sugar, and vinegar and simmer, uncovered, stirring frequently to prevent scorching, until reduced by half, about 20 minutes.
• Tie cloves, allspice, cinnamon, and celery seed in a cheesecloth bag and add to tomato mixture with mustard and paprika. Simmer mixture, stirring, until very thick, about 10 minutes. Discard bag and season mixture with Tabasco and salt. Ketchup may be made 10 days ahead and chilled, covered.
• Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

GRILLED SAUSAGE WITH POTATOES AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Slice the sausage links in half lengthwise, then cut into 3-inch chunks.
• Place the sausage, potatoes, and cabbage into a foil bag, or lay out on a sheet of foil to be made into a sealed pouch. Slice butter into pats and place over the mixture. Sprinkle on garlic and caraway seeds. Seal the bag or pouch to prevent leakage.
• Cook on the preheated grill, flipping over halfway through cook time, until sausage is browned and potatoes and cabbage are tender, about 40 minutes.

BEER-SIMMERED GRILLED SAUSAGES

Steps:

• 1. Prick each sausage a half-dozen times with a needle or pin stuck in a cork. Arrange the onion slices on the bottom of a sauté pan just large enough to hold all the sausages. Place the sausages on top and add beer and water to cover (the ratio should be about 3 parts beer to 1 part water). Place the pan over medium heat and gradually bring the liquid to a simmer, not a rapid boil. Poach the sausages until half-cooked, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the sausages to a rack on a baking sheet to drain or drain in a colander. Separate the sausages into links.
• 2. Set up the grill for direct grilling and preheat to medium-high.
• 3. When ready to cook, brush and oil the grill grate. Lightly brush the sausages on all sides with oil and place on the hot grate. Grill until the casings are crisp and nicely browned and the sausages are cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes per side. You may want to rotate the sausages 90 degrees after 2 minutes on each side to create an attractive crosshatch of grill marks. Should flare-ups arise, move the sausages to a different section of the grill. Use a slender metal skewer to test for doneness. Insert it into the center of one of the sausages: It should come out hot to the touch.
• 4. Transfer the sausages to plates or a platter and let rest for 3 minutes. Serve with plenty of mustard.
• Variations: Poaching is optional and not every grill jockey does it. If you omit the poaching, you'll need to grill the sausages 7 to 10 minutes per side.
• For absolutely foolproof sausage grilling, use the indirect method. The sausages will be fully cooked in about 30 minutes.

MIXED GRILLED SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Heat grill to medium-high heat.
• Fold double layer of heavy-duty foil over bottom and up sides of inverted 9-inch square pan. Remove pan. Turn foil pan over; place on grill grate.
• Add butter to foil pan; grill until butter is melted. Add vegetables; stir until evenly coated with butter. Grill 10 min., stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, place sausages directly on grill grate. Grill 10 min., turning after 5 min.
• Add sausages and barbecue sauce to vegetables in pan; stir. Grill 5 to 10 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally.

GRILLED SAUSAGES, PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for two-zone cooking over medium-high heat. (For a charcoal grill, pour the coals on one side. For a gas grill, heat all burners covered on high, then reduce one burner to medium-high and turn off the other. If your grill has three burners, reduce the outer two to medium-high and turn off the middle.)
• Meanwhile, remove sausages from the package to come to room temperature and to air-dry. In a large bowl or baking dish, toss the peppers and onions with olive oil, salt and pepper to coat. Lightly brush the interior of the rolls with olive oil.
• Clean and oil the grates. (Dip the trimmed end of the onion in oil and use it to grease the grates). Place the peppers and onions over the flame (direct heat) and place the sausages where there is no flame beneath (indirect heat). Cover and cook, flipping occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and charred in spots and cooked through, 14 to 20 minutes. (To keep all of the juices in, insert the thermometer into the ends of the sausages as opposed to pricking the sausage casing.)
• To the now-empty bowl or baking dish, add the vinegar, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and oregano, if using. Season with salt and pepper. As the vegetables finish cooking, add them to the bowl and toss to combine. Move the sausages to direct heat and cook, turning often, until charred and crisp, 2 to 4 minutes. (Cover if using a gas grill.) Transfer to the bowl of vegetables to rest for a few minutes. Grill the cut sides of the buns over direct heat until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Divide the peppers, onions and sausages between rolls.

GRILLED SAUSAGE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• This is soooo simple.
• Start the grill!
• While you are warming your coals or starting your gas grill, lightly coat the bottom of a metal 9x13 cake pan with shortening or pam to keep the potatoes from sticking.
• Scrub potatoes (or peel if you don't like the skin on your potatoes), clean zucchini, egg plant.
• Cut potatoes into bite size pieces and toss into bottom of pan.
• Cut the zucchini and eggplant just larger than bite size pieces and toss onto potatoes, next, cut the smoked sausage and brats into bite size pieces toss onto veggies-- (see, isn't this easy?).
• Sprinkle salt and pepper, parsley, and garlic powder on top of the pile, it will probably be stacked over the top of of the pan, don't worry-- Cover the pan with aluminum foil, poke a couple of holes in the top for ventilation.
• Toss on the grill for 20-30 minutes, until the potatoes are done.
• I usually make rice or pasta with it.
