Grilled Skewered Sausages Recipes

Steps:

• Soak eight 8-inch skewers in water, at least 15 minutes. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Prepare the couscous as the label directs.
• Meanwhile, toss the bell peppers, sausage, onion and tomatoes in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Thread onto the skewers, alternating the sausage and vegetables. Grill, turning, until the vegetables are slightly softened and the sausage begins to brown, 6 to 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, puree the parsley, cilantro and scallions in a blender with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the vinegar and 2 tablespoons water. Season with salt and pepper. Brush the skewers with some of the pesto and continue to cook, turning, until the tomatoes are tender and the sausage is charred, 6 to 7 more minutes.
• Toss the couscous with half of the remaining pesto and season with salt and pepper. Serve with the skewers and the remaining pesto, for dipping.

Steps:

• Soak 12 8-to 10-inch wooden skewers and the bay leaves in tepid water for 30 minutes. Drain.
• Preheat a charcoal or gas grill.
• Hold two skewers parallel to each other about a half-inch apart. Place a piece of onion, a bay leaf, a piece of sausage and a piece of orange on the two skewers, repeating the ingredients in this order and ending with a piece of sausage. There should be three pieces of sausage per double skewer.
• Brush each skewer with olive oil, and place on the hot grill. Cook, turning occasionally, until the sausage is browned and the oranges and onions slightly charred, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Prick the sausages in several places. Place in water to cover and simmer about 10 minutes. Drain and cut each into 5 pieces.
• Preheat the grill or broiler.
• Thread four skewers, starting with a bread cube, putting 6 pieces of bread and 5 pieces of sausage on each skewer. Brush very lightly with olive oil.
• Place the skewers on a very hot grill or four inches from the source of heat in the broiler, turning until the bread and the sausage are golden and crusty on all sides.
