Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

Porridge:
1 cup spelt, wheat berries, or barley
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 ounce Parmesan, grated (about 1 cup)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Sausages and grapes:
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 sweet Italian sausages
1 cup red grapes
1/2 cup fruity red wine
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 sprigs thyme
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Porridge:
  • Pulse spelt in a blender or food processor until coarsely chopped (all of the grains should be broken open but not ground to a powder). Combine spelt and 4 cups water in a large saucepan over medium-high; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, whisking occasionally, until spelt is tender and mixture is thick, 25-35 minutes. Whisk in Parmesan and butter. Add water by tablespoonfuls if needed to loosen.
  • Sausages and grapes:
  • While porridge is simmering, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook sausages, turning occasionally, until browned all over and partially cooked but still pink in the center, 6-8 minutes. Add grapes to skillet and cook, tossing and crushing some with a wooden spoon, until browned and slightly saucy, and sausages are cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer sausages to a plate.
  • Add wine and vinegar to skillet and cook until juices are thickened and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add thyme and butter, swirling pan to incorporate butter into sauce; season with salt and pepper.
  • Divide grain porridge among bowls. Divide sausages, grapes, and sauce over top.

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds Italian hot sausage
1 1/2 pounds Italian sweet sausage
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
5 to 6 cups (2 pounds) red or green seedless grapes, stems removed
2 to 4 tablespoons dry red wine, preferably Chianti
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Fresh Foccaccia or Ciabatta bread, to serve

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
  • Parboil the sausages in water to cover for 8 minutes to rid them of excess fat.
  • Melt the butter in a large heatproof roasting pan, add the grapes, and toss to coat. Over moderately high heat add the wine. Stir with a wooden spoon for a few minutes until the wine has reduced by half.
  • Using tongs, transfer the parboiled sausages to the roasting pan and push them down in the grapes so the sausages will not brown too quickly. Roast in the oven, turning the sausages once, until the grapes are soft and the sausages have browned, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Place the roasting pan on top of the stove over a medium-high heat and add the balsamic vinegar. Scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the roasting pan, and allow the vinegar and juices to reduce until they are thick and syrupy. With a slotted spoon, transfer the sausages and grapes to a serving platter.
  • Pour the sauce over the sausages and grapes and serve immediately, accompanied with fresh bread.

ROASTED SAUSAGES WITH GRAPES AND ONIONS



Roasted Sausages With Grapes and Onions image

You can use any kind of sausages in this cozy, autumnal dish, filled with roasted sweet grapes and vinegar-spiked onions. Spicy Italian sausages made from pork, chicken or turkey, fresh chorizo or merguez, will give the dish a kick, while milder sausages like chicken and apple, bratwurst or Weisswurst make for a gentler meal. Serve this on a bed of polenta or mashed potatoes, or with some crusty bread to sop up the vinegary, sausage-rich pan juices, and a green salad on the side. If you want to halve this recipe, reduce the oven temperature to 425 degrees; otherwise the smaller amount of food in the pan might get too brown.

Categories     easy, weekday, sausages, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large Spanish onion, thinly sliced
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cups seedless red grapes (1 1/4 pounds), destemmed
1 teaspoon fennel, coriander, cumin or caraway seeds, lightly crushed
1 pound any sausages, poked all over with a fork
1/2 cup parsley, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped chives
2 teaspoons rice vinegar or sherry vinegar, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. On a large (13-by-18-inch) rimmed baking sheet, toss together onion slices, 2 tablespoons oil, salt and pepper, and spread in an even layer. Roast for 8 to 12 minutes, until the onions turn translucent and the thinnest pieces take on a pale gold color at the edges.
  • After 10 minutes, add grapes, seeds and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to pan with onions, and toss well. Spread in an even layer and nestle sausage into the mixture.
  • Roast until sausage has browned, 25 to 30 minutes, flipping sausage and tossing grapes and onions halfway through.
  • Transfer sausages to a platter or to individual plates. Add parsley and chives to pan with grapes and onions and gently toss (this warms up and wilts the herbs). Use a slotted spoon to transfer grapes and onions to plates with the sausages.
  • Add vinegar to rimmed baking sheet and scrape up any browned bits on the tray. Drizzle pan juices over the grapes and sausages, taste, and sprinkle more salt or vinegar on top, if desired.

TUSCAN GRAPES AND SAUSAGES



Tuscan Grapes and Sausages image

This recipe is one of my go-tos when entertaining. It's simple, elegant and you can entertain your guests instead of spending the entire time in the kitchen. It is always a crowd pleaser and everyone always asks for the recipe. The whole pieces of garlic in this dish become so sweet, a lovely complement to the sweet grapes and spicy sausage. I serve this over rustic hand-mashed red potatoes. -Melissa Zienter, Las Vegas, Nevada
