GRILLED BRATWURST WITH ROSEMARY-LEMON CANNELLINI BEANS AND GRILLED BREAD
Beans and sausage are a classic combination that I typically have during the winter months. But I wanted to find a way to serve up a lighter version that can be made on a grill during the summer. The grilled bratwurst pairs perfectly with cannellini beans cooked with red onion, rosemary and fresh lemon juice and zest. I serve this dish simply with some grilled bread rubbed with garlic for the perfect summertime meal.

Steps:
- Preheat one side of a charcoal or gas grill over medium heat and leave the other side off.
- Set a small (1 1/2-quart) saucepan on the direct heat (hot) side of the grill. Add 2 tablespoons oil and heat about 1 minute. Add the onion and season with a pinch of salt. Cook the onion until they softened and begin to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, rosemary and chile paste and cook until very fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the beans, season with salt, and pour in the broth and lemon juice. Allow the mixture to come to a bare simmer, then move it to the indirect heat (cool) side of the grill. Cook the beans over indirect heat, stirring occasionally, until the broth is reduced to 1/4 to 1/3 cup, about 20 minutes.
- Lightly grease the bratwurst with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place the sausages on the direct heat side of the grill and cook until deep grill marks appear on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Move the sausages over to the indirect heat side of the grill. (It's okay if the beans need to move closer to the direct heat side, just stir more often and remove once the broth is reduced.) Continue grilling the sausages over indirect heat until cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the sausages from the grill and let rest about 5 minutes.
- Lightly brush both sides of the bread with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Grill the bread over direct heat until crispy and charred in spots, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove and immediately rub with the whole garlic clove and season with salt.
- When the beans have finished cooking, stir in the lemon zest, parsley and salt to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and Parmesan. Top the beans with the grilled sausage and grilled bread. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Cut the bread into about 12 slices, about 3/4 of an inch thick.
- Lightly coat both sides of the bread with olive oil.
- To your liking sprinkle sea salt, pepper and rosemary on one side of the bread slices. Lightly press down on the spices to help them stick, then flip the slices over and sprinkle the spices on the other side.
- Grill over medium high heat about 5 minutes on each side, until the bread is toasty and light grill marks appear.
- This bread is excellent for bruschetta or dips or just to eat plain! So good! :).
Tips:
- Choose the right bread: A sturdy bread like a baguette or ciabatta will hold up well to the grill and won't fall apart. You can also use a loaf of sourdough or French bread.
- Slice the bread properly: Cut the bread into 1-inch thick slices. If the slices are too thin, they will dry out on the grill. If they are too thick, they will take too long to cook.
- Brush the bread with olive oil: This will help to keep the bread moist and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
- Season the bread with salt and pepper: This will help to enhance the flavor of the bread.
- Grill the bread over medium heat: This will help to prevent the bread from burning.
- Cook the bread for 2-3 minutes per side: Or until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the bread immediately: Grilled bread is best served warm. You can top it with your favorite toppings, such as butter, cheese, or herbs.
Conclusion:
Grilled bread is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as part of a meal. It is a great way to use up leftover bread and it is also a perfect appetizer or snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make grilled bread at home. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, try grilling some bread.
