Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
4 firm, ripe pears, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices
8 precooked chicken-and-apple sausage links, pricked with a fork
Fresh thyme, chutney, and assorted mustards, for serving

Steps:

  • Whisk lemon juice with mustard. Add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified. Whisk in salt and pepper. Toss pears with 2 tablespoons dressing.
  • Grill sausages, turning frequently, until heated through, 10 to 12 minutes total. At the same time, grill pears until softened and lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Top sausages and pears with thyme, and serve with chutney, mustards, and remaining dressing.
