GRILLED ITALIAN SAUSAGE WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS



Grilled Italian Sausage with Peppers and Onions image

Italian sausage, bell peppers, and onions made easy on the grill. You can also serve the sausage in hot dog buns and finely chop the veggies once grilled as a "relish". I like to add a squirt of mustard when I serve them this way.

Time 35m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
1 small white onion, sliced into petals
1 small red onion, sliced into petals
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
5 (4 ounce) links hot Italian sausage links

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.

Save extra pesto to use on other grilled meats or fish. It will last up to 1 week in the refrigerator.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 bunch (about 4 ounces) arugula, stems trimmed, washed
4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
8 assorted Italian pork sausages, both hot and sweet varieties (about 1 pound)

Steps:

  • Make the pesto: Place the arugula and garlic in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped, scraping down the sides if necessary. Add the cheese, salt, pepper, and olive oil, and puree until smooth and well combined.
  • Heat a grill to medium-high. Prick the sausages with a fork to allow excess fat to drip. Grill until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Serve the pesto over the grilled sausages.

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 pound thinly sliced pancetta
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound adult arugula, large stems removed
1/2 pound basil leaves
1 pound whole wheat fusilli
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as desired
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
1 garlic clove
1/2 cup grated Pecorino-Romano, plus more for garnish
2 tablespoons European style (high-fat) butter

Steps:

  • Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare an ice water bath. Stir the arugula into the boiling water and cook until it is bright green and tender, about 15 seconds. Remove the arugula directly to the ice bath and let cool completely, then drain, gently squeeze out the excess water and set aside. Do the same for the basil. Once the arugula and basil are blanched, cook the pasta in the boiling water until al dente.
  • Meanwhile, make the pesto. Add the arugula and basil to a food processor and blend until mostly pureed, about 30 seconds. Add oil, pine nuts, garlic and salt and pepper and puree for another 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the cheese and pulse, drizzling more oil as desired, until combined but not fully pureed, another 30 seconds. (See Cook's Note.)
  • Place the pesto and butter in a large bowl and add drained pasta to the bowl, reserving some pasta water to thin the sauce as desired. Mix the pesto and pasta, season to taste and crumble the slices of crispy pancetta on top. Serve with extra grated Pecorino and a drizzle of olive oil.
