HERITAGE RED WATTLE PORK, MILD SAUSAGE LINKS

Grilled Red Wattle Mild Sausage Links with Caramelized Onions and Peppers

Ingredients:

• 1 lb Heritage Red Wattle mild sausage links
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 2 bell peppers (red and yellow for color), sliced into strips
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 tsp sugar (optional, for extra caramelization)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish
• Fresh buns or rolls (optional, for serving)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Grill:

   • Preheat your grill to medium heat. If you don't have a grill, you can use a grill pan or a regular skillet on the stove.

2. Cook the Sausages:

   • Place the sausage links on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
   • If using a grill pan or skillet, cook the sausages over medium heat, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and fully cooked.

3. Caramelize the Onions and Peppers:

   • While the sausages are cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
   • Add the sliced onions and cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
   • Add the bell peppers to the skillet and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for another 10-15 minutes until the onions and peppers are caramelized and tender.
   • Add the minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, sugar (if using), salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the vinegar has reduced and the mixture is well-coated.

4. Serve:

   • Place the grilled sausages on a serving platter and top them with the caramelized onions and peppers.
   • Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley.
   • Serve the sausages on their own or in fresh buns or rolls for a sandwich-style meal.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve with a side of roasted potatoes, a fresh green salad, or grilled vegetables.
• For a touch of heat, add some pickled jalapeños or a spicy mustard on the side.

This dish is perfect for a casual dinner or a summer cookout. Enjoy the rich flavor of Heritage Red Wattle mild sausage links!
