Grilled Sausage & Peppers

We are indeed alive!  Our little farmer arrived April 2nd & we couldn't be happier about it!  Life got extremely busy for us quickly.  However, things are settling down & we are getting into a new routine.  I am learning how to really prioritize between naps & feedings.  Cooking is very near the top of the list so hopefully that is a good harbinger for this blog.  We had a fabulous new recipe yesterday!  It's one for the grill (& friends!) -- grilling weather is definitely here.

This recipe comes from Coastal Living magazine (May 2014).  We used Turkey Sausage & I only had red peppers.  It would be a gorgeous dish using a red, orange & yellow bell pepper.  Go for the sherry vinegar without substituting.  I'm pretty sure you will make this recipe again.


Grilled Sausage & Peppers
Makes 4 servings.

2 Tablespoons sherry vinegar
2 Tablespoons honey
1/4 Teaspoon salt
1 (12- to 16-ounce) package smoked sausage
3 red, yellow and/or orange bell peppers, halved & seeded

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.  Combine first 3 ingredients in a medium bowl.  Cut sausages in half lengthwise.  Grill sausages & peppers 4 minutes on each side.  Remove charred skin from peppers, if desired.  Slice into strips.  Cut sausages diagonally into 4-inch pieces.  Toss peppers & sausages in honey mixture, and transfer to serving platter.

We combined it with corn on the cob & potato salad.
Oh, it tastes like summer!!
