This is a very easy yet delicious complete meal that you cook entirely on the grill, making it perfect for those warm summer days when you do not want to step foot in the kitchen. The sausages are first marinated in red wine which gives them a more complex flavor when grilled, and although no one will be able to tell what is different about the sausages unless you tell them, it really does give them a unique flavor. As with any dish, use the best quality sausages you can find, or better yet, make your own.
The vegetables can be any that you enjoy that work well on the grill. I chose zucchini, peppers, summer squash, radicchio, and red onions, although asparagus, mushrooms, eggplant, or even slices of butternut squash would work well also. One other item that we slice and grill that really pops up the flavor of the sausages are lemons. I used Meyer lemons in my dish for the photos, but any lemons would work well. Once grilled, the lemon’s sharpness mellows out, and they are really delicious eaten with the sausage. I am posting this recipe for four servings, but it can easily be adapted to any number. Simply allow two sausages per person, as well as a slice or two of each of your chosen vegetables.
Sausages are delicious served with grilled vegetables and lemon slices.
