SAUSAGE PEPPER PINEAPPLE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together ingredients for marinade and set aside.
• Cut up sausage, pineapple, and peppers. Place all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and toss with marinade until everything is evenly coated. Using the toothpicks, skewer a piece of pineapple, pepper, and sausage. Place finished skewer on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Continue with remaining ingredients until everything is used up.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until peppers are cooked through and sausage if slightly browned on the outside.
• Serve warm!

SAUSAGE-AND-PEPPER SKEWERS

Steps:

• Soak eight 8-inch skewers in water, at least 15 minutes. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Prepare the couscous as the label directs.
• Meanwhile, toss the bell peppers, sausage, onion and tomatoes in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Thread onto the skewers, alternating the sausage and vegetables. Grill, turning, until the vegetables are slightly softened and the sausage begins to brown, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, puree the parsley, cilantro and scallions in a blender with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the vinegar and 2 tablespoons water. Season with salt and pepper. Brush the skewers with some of the pesto and continue to cook, turning, until the tomatoes are tender and the sausage is charred, 6 to 7 more minutes.
• Toss the couscous with half of the remaining pesto and season with salt and pepper. Serve with the skewers and the remaining pesto, for dipping.

ITALIAN BREAKFAST SKEWERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Thread the skewers starting with the sausage, then the red pepper, then the pancetta, then the pineapple. Each skewer should have 2 of these sets. Continue with the rest of the skewers.
• Arrange on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown on the edges and the pancetta is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Serve warm.

SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the sausages and cook until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove the sausages from the pan and set aside. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute more. Add the peppers, garlic, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the peppers are wilted, about 5 minutes. Return the sausages to the pan, cover, and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sausages are cooked through, about 12 minutes more. Stir in the vinegar. Divide the sausage and peppers evenly amongst the crusty rolls and serve.
