GRILLED HOT AND SWEET SAUSAGE TACOS WITH APRICOT-JALAPENO GLAZE, GRILLED PEPPER AND RED ONION SALSA

Steps:

• Salsa: Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving.
• Sausage tacos: Combine the preserves, jalapeno and lime juice in a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Heat a grill to high. Brush the links with oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Grill until lightly golden brown. Cut the sausage in half lengthwise and brush the apricot glaze mixture on both sides. Grill until dark golden brown, then remove to a cutting board and slice.
• Grill the tortillas quickly on each side just to heat through, about 5 seconds per side. Fill with some of the hot and sweet sausage and top with some of the cheese and some of the salsa.

GRILLED SWEET AND HOT SAUSAGE HOAGIES WITH GRILLED ONION MARMALADE AND RED PEPPERS

Steps:

• Preheat grill. Brush the onions with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper and grill until lightly brown. Remove from the grill and slice thinly. Heat the remaining olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and jalapeno and cook for 1 minute. Add the vinegar, cassis, grenadine, red wine and reduce until the liquid has almost evaporated. Remove from heat, add the parsley and salt and pepper to taste. Grill sausages. Serve at room temperature. Each sandwich gets sausage, red pepper and marmalade on a hoagie.

GRILLED SAUSAGES, ONIONS AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Build a fire in your grill, leaving one side free of coals. When coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 5 to 7 seconds), you are ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium.)
• Meanwhile, toss peppers and onions with oil and sprinkle with salt. Lightly prick sausages all over so that they do not burst.
• Put peppers and onions in a grill basket or directly on the grill, turning occasionally until they are softened and dark at the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Move them to the side of the grill without coals.
• Place the sausages on the hot side of the grill, cover and cook, turning occasionally until they are cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer the peppers and onions to a platter and top with the sausages. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.

GRILLED SPICY SAUSAGES WITH ONION MARMALADE

Steps:

• For the onion marmalade: Heat the oil in a heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions begin to soften but not brown, about 8 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water, the sugar and chile flakes. Cook the onions until almost all the liquid is absorbed, stirring often, about 12 minutes. Add the apple cider vinegar and simmer until the marmalade is thick, stirring often, 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cool.
• For the grilled sausages: Prepare a grill to medium-high heat. Brush the sausages with oil. Grill the sausages, turning them constantly, until golden and cooked through, or when an instant-read thermometer inserted in a sausage reads about 165 degrees F, about 14 minutes. Spread each baguette with the mustard. Place the grilled sausages on top of each baguette and top with the onion marmalade and Tomato Chutney.
• Boil a pot of water. Prepare a bowl of ice water. Cut the stem of the tomatoes using a paring knife. Slice a shallow X in the bottom end of the tomatoes. Plunge the tomatoes into the boiling water for a few seconds, using a slotted spoon. Transfer the tomatoes to the ice water. Remove the tomatoes and peel away the skin. Chop the tomatoes roughly.
• Pour the oil into a medium saucepan and heat over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, red wine vinegar and sugar and cook, stirring half way through the cooking time, until slightly thickened and the tomatoes have broken down, about 20 minutes. Add the herbs de Provence and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook the chutney, about 5 minutes. Let the chutney cool slightly before serving. Yield: 4 servings.

GRILLED SAUSAGE SANDWICHES WITH FENNEL AND SWEET ONION

Steps:

• Uncoil sausage and cut into 4 equal lengths. Re-coil each piece into a round and secure with a skewer horizontally through coil.
• Toss together fennel, onion, oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
• Lightly oil grill pan and heat over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Arrange sausages and fennel and onion in grill pan (vegetables can be in a shallow pile). Grill, turning sausages over once and tossing vegetables occasionally, until vegetables are softened and charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer vegetables to a bowl and continue to grill sausages until cooked through, 2 to 5 minutes more.
• Remove skewers and serve sausages, topped with fennel and onion, on buns.

GRILLED ITALIAN SAUSAGE WITH WARM PEPPER AND ONION SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas). (If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. When Charcoal turns grayish white (about 15 minutes from lighting), hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack to determine heat for charcoal as follows: Hot: When you can hold your hand there for 1 to 2 seconds; Medium-hot: 3 to 4 seconds; Low: 5 to 6 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then, if necessary, reduce to heat specified in recipe.)
• Toss peppers and onion with 1 tablespoon oil. Grill on lightly oiled grill sheet set directly on grill rack, with grill covered only if using a gas grill, turning occasionally, until slightly softened and charred, 9 to 15 minutes (onion will cook faster), transferring to a bowl as cooked.
• Add vinegar, oregano, salt, pepper, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil to peppers and onion, tossing to coat. Let stand 10 minutes to allow flavors to develop.
• While vegetables stand, run skewers crisscrossed horizontally through sausage coil, securing ends. Grill directly over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas) on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once, until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes total. (Thicker sausage may take longer.)
• Transfer vegetables to a platter and top with sausage.

GRILLED ITALIAN SAUSAGE WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Combine bell peppers and onions in a large bowl. Add olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Using a toothpick, poke 4 holes into each sausage to prevent them from exploding on the grill.
• Place vegetables in a grill basket and cook for 2 minutes. Add sausage directly to the grate and grill for 4 minutes. Flip sausage over, stir vegetables, and grill for 4 minutes more.

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.
