GRILLED SUMMER SAUSAGE SALAD



Grilled Summer Sausage Salad image

I love grilling vegetables, especially those straight from the garden. The summer sausage is a fun twist, and the veggies really get to shine in this main dish salad. Fresh garden herbs also taste great mixed into this salad. To amp up the flavor even more, try grilling romaine lettuce instead of using a salad mix. -Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota

SHEET-PAN SAUSAGES WITH CARAMELIZED SHALLOTS AND APPLES



Sheet-Pan Sausages With Caramelized Shallots and Apples image

In this rustic sheet-pan dinner, apples and shallots roast slowly alongside pork sausage, becoming fragrant and caramelized in the process. A quick toss with whole-grain mustard and apple cider vinegar adds a savory edge, making the apple and shallot mixture almost reminiscent of chutney. This recipe works equally well with both sweet and hot pork sausage, as well as any crisp apples, though a mix of red and green apples looks particularly nice. Serve with French green lentils and a green salad, with plenty of Dijon mustard on the side.

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 shallots, trimmed on both ends and peeled (about 6 ounces)
2 crisp apples (preferably one tart, like Granny Smith, and one sweet, like Fuji)
1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more as needed
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausages
3 fresh rosemary sprigs
1 teaspoon whole-grain mustard
1 to 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, to taste
Chopped fresh parsley, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut the shallots lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Core the apples and cut into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Place the shallots and apples on a sheet pan, drizzle with the 1 tablespoon olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Roast the mixture for 10 to 15 minutes, until the shallots are just starting to brown at the edges.
  • Meanwhile, place the sausages on a plate. Using a fork, prick a few holes in each sausage. Drizzle the sausages with olive oil and toss to coat.
  • Add the rosemary and mustard to the pan with the apples and shallots, and toss, spreading everything out into one even layer. Arrange the sausages on the pan, evenly distributed, and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping the sausages and tossing the apples and shallots with the juices released from the sausages halfway through, until the sausages are browned and cooked to 160 degrees and the shallots are tender and caramelized.
  • Transfer the sausages to a serving platter and discard the rosemary sprigs. Pour the vinegar over the apples and shallots, and toss well, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Transfer to the serving platter with the sausages, sprinkle with parsley, if using, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose firm zucchini: For best results, select firm zucchini that are not too large. If the zucchini is too soft, it will break down during cooking.
  • Sauté the sausage first: Browning the sausage before adding the other ingredients helps to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming greasy.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will allow the ingredients to cook evenly and prevent overcrowding.
  • Cook over medium heat: Medium heat will help the ingredients cook through without burning.
  • Add the apples and zucchini last: The apples and zucchini will cook quickly, so add them last to prevent them from overcooking.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to season the dish with salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Conclusion:

This zucchini apple sausage entree is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. The combination of zucchini, apples, and sausage is delicious and satisfying, and the dish is sure to please the whole family. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is a great option for beginner cooks or anyone looking for a healthy and flavorful meal.
