Grilled Sausages With Charred Tomato Relish Recipes

GRILLED NY STYLE SAUSAGES WITH BALSAMIC ONION SAUCE AND GRILLED TOMATOES

Steps:

• For the onions: Put the vinegar, oil, onions and some salt and pepper in a medium skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are very soft and soupy, about 15 minutes.
• Stir in the chile powder and cinnamon and cook for 1 minute. Add the ketchup, 1/2 cup water, the hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and bring to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool to room temperature before serving.
• For the tomatoes: Heat the grill for high direct and indirect heat. Put the tomatoes in a bowl and toss with the canola oil and some salt and pepper. Transfer to a grill basket and grill over direct heat, tossing occasionally, until slightly charred all over and softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, drizzle with the olive oil, and crush lightly with a fork. Toss with the basil, then set aside.
• For the sausage: Put the sausages over the direct heat and cook until slightly charred on all sides, about 2 minutes per side. Move to the indirect heat, cover, and cook until just cooked through, about 10 minutes.
• Transfer the sausage to a cutting board. Grill the bread over direct heat until lightly charred, about 15 seconds, then transfer to a platter.
• Slice the sausages about 1-inch thick. Top each slice of bread with some of the grilled tomatoes, a few slices of sausage and a dollop of the onion sauce. Serve immediately.

GRILLED ITALIAN SAUSAGE, PEPPER AND ONION QUESADILLA WITH SWEET 100 TOMATO RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat grill to high. Grill the sausages until golden brown on all sides and cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove, let rest for 5 minutes and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices. Lay 8 of the tortillas on a work surface. Divide the cheeses, sausage, onion peppers, garlic and parsley among them. Stack to make 4 and top with the remaining 4 tortillas. Brush the tops with the olive oil and grill for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown. Brush with more oil, turn over and continue grilling until golden brown and the cheese melts. Remove the quesadilla, quarter and top with the relish.
• Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.

GRILLED SAUSAGES WITH GRILLED SHALLOT RELISH WITH FRESH RICOTTA AND TOASTED BAGUETTE

Steps:

• Heat a charcoal or gas grill to high for direct grilling. Brush the sausages with some of the canola oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and grill, with the cover closed, until golden brown, slightly charred and just cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
• While the sausages are grilling, halve the shallots, leaving the skin on, and toss with a few tablespoons each of the canola oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put them on the grill and cook until charred and slightly softened. Cool slightly, remove the skins and chop.
• Heat the remaining canola oil in a saute pan on the grates of the grill until it begins to shimmer. Add the chopped shallots, remaining vinegar, honey, thyme and red pepper flakes and simmer, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley.
• Arrange the cut sausage on a platter with a bowl of the fresh ricotta, the shallot relish and toasted bread. Serve the bread topped with a dollop of the ricotta, a few pieces of sausage and a spoonful of the relish, drizzled with honey and olive oil. Serve warm or at room temperature.

GRILLED MUSTARD ITALIAN SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In small bowl, mix relish ingredients; cover and refrigerate until serving.
• In another small bowl, mix mustard and oregano; set aside.
• Place sausages on grill over medium heat. Cover grill; cook 10 minutes, turning occasionally. Continue grilling 8 to 10 minutes longer, turning and brushing occasionally with mustard mixture, until no longer pink in center. Discard any remaining mustard mixture.
• Serve sausages on buns with relish.

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.

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 WITH CHARRED TOMATO RELISH

Steps:

• Grill chiles and tomatoes directly on grates set over a campfire or on a medium-high grill, turning, until charred and softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Reserve tomatoes and 1 jalapeno for relish. (Reserve 2 jalapenos for a spicier relish.)
• Grill sausages directly on grates, turning, until cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, chop charred tomatoes and reserved jalapeno; transfer to a bowl. Stir in garlic, vinegar, and sugar. Season with salt and pepper. Serve chiles and sausages with charred tomato relish, sandwiched with skillet breads.
