ITALIAN SAUSAGES SKEWERS

Steps:

• Put sausages in a plate going in the microwave and poke them. Cover with plastic wrap leaving an open corner to let escape the steam and cook at high power for about 5 minutes or until not pink inside. (you can do this step in advance, let cool and cover. They will be good until the next day in the fridge.). Cut in slices of 1 1/2 inches of thickness.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix oil, garlic, salt and pepper. On metal skewers or wood skewers previously soaked in water, thread sausages alternating with bread cubes and onions squares. Baste the skewers with the mixture of oil.
• Set the barbecue to medium heat. Put the skewers on an oil grill. Close the cover and cook about 10 minutes or until sausages are grilled and onions are tender (flip the skewers 3 times during the cooking time).

ITALIAN STYLE SAUSAGE SKEWERS

Steps:

• Cook the sausage according to the directions on the package and cut it into 1-inch rounds. Cut the basil leaves lengthwise into thirds.
• Put an olive half about 1/3 of the way down onto a skewer. Then add 1 strip of basil, folding so it fits nicely on the skewer. Follow with 1 grape tomato and a round of sausage. Position everything on the end of the skewer so the skewer can stand up on its sausage end.

SAUSAGE & PANCETTA SKEWERS

Steps:

• Heat the grill to medium. Thread a piece of sausage onto each skewer, followed by a piece of bread, a bit of pancetta and a tomato, then repeat with the remaining ingredients - you should have two of everything on each skewer.
• Line a baking tray with foil, scatter over the rosemary, and place a rack on top with the skewers. Drizzle over the oil and grill for 20-25 mins, turning every few mins, until everything is cooked through and crispy. If the bread is blackening too quickly, turn it round every min or so.

ITALIAN TORTELLINI SKEWERS

Steps:

• Cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain, set aside, and let cool.
• Thread each skewer with pepperoni (I used two pepperoni each time), cucumber, olive, tortellini, mozzarella, tomato, and pepperoncini. Repeat until all the skewers are full.
• Drizzle skewers with Italian dressing and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

GRILLED ITALIAN SAUSAGE KABOBS

Steps:

• Mix pizza sauce, basil, and oil; reserve.
• Cook sausage pieces in 10-inch skillet over medium heat about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until partially cooked; drain.
• Thread sausage, zucchini and bell pepper pieces alternately on each of six 15-inch metal skewers, leaving space between each.
• Place olive on tip of each skewer.
• Cover and grill kabobs 5 to 6 inches from medium coals 20 to 25 minutes, turning and brushing 2 to 3 times with pizza sauce mixture, until sausage is done and vegetables are crisp-tender.
• Heat remaining pizza sauce mixture to boiling; serve with kabobs.

MINI SAUSAGE PANCAKE SKEWERS WITH SPICY SYRUP

Steps:

• Melt butter over medium-low heat in a small saucepan. Stir in maple syrup, red pepper flakes, and salt. Bring to a boil and cook, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove syrup from heat and set aside, stirring occasionally, for at least 30 minutes for flavor to fully develop.
• Meanwhile, prepare pancakes: whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Whisk buttermilk, egg, sour cream, melted butter, and maple syrup together in a separate bowl. Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Stir gently until just combined but slightly lumpy; do not overmix. Let sit for 10 minutes.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Drop teaspoonfuls of batter onto the hot skillet to form 1-inch diameter pancakes. Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, flip, and continue cooking until golden brown, about 1 more minute. Transfer cooked pancakes to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
• Heat olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Form tablespoonfuls of sausage into 1-inch patties, the same size as the mini pancakes. Cook until patties are cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Thread 3 pancakes and 2 sausage patties onto each skewer, starting and ending with a pancake. Repeat to make remaining skewers. Serve drizzled with spicy syrup.
