Time 55m

Yield 5-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 lbs sweet Italian sausage
1 1/2 lbs hot Italian sausage
3 tablespoons kerry irish gold unsalted butter
2 1/2 lbs green seedless grapes, removed from the stems
1/2 cup good balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add the sausages, and simmer for 8 minutes to remove some of the fat. Remove to a plate.
  • Melt the butter in a large 12x15 roasting pan on top of the stove.
  • Add the grapes and toss them to coat with butter.
  • Transfer the sausages to the roasting pan with tongs, nestling them down in the grapes in one layer.
  • Place in the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, turning the sausages once, until they're browned and the grapes are tender.
  • Transfer the sausages and grapes to a serving platter with tongs and a slotted spoon and cover to keep them hot. Add the balsamic vinegar to the roasting pan and cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes to reduce the balsamic vinegar slightly.
  • Pour over the sausages and grapes and serve hot.

TUSCAN GRAPES AND SAUSAGES



Tuscan Grapes and Sausages image

This recipe is one of my go-tos when entertaining. It's simple, elegant and you can entertain your guests instead of spending the entire time in the kitchen. It is always a crowd pleaser and everyone always asks for the recipe. The whole pieces of garlic in this dish become so sweet, a lovely complement to the sweet grapes and spicy sausage. I serve this over rustic hand-mashed red potatoes. -Melissa Zienter, Las Vegas, Nevada
