Sticky Sausage Rosemary Skewers Recipes

STICKY SAUSAGE & ROSEMARY SKEWERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Grease a large baking tray with a little oil. To prepare your skewers, remove most of the leaves from each rosemary sprig, keeping a few leaves at the end. Sharpen the other end to a point by cutting it at an angle.
• Stretch the bacon by placing it on a chopping board and running the back of a knife along the length. Cut each piece in half across the middle. Thread 3 sausages onto each skewer, weaving a piece of bacon around them as you do.
• Arrange the skewers on the baking tray and bake for 20 mins. Turn them, brush with maple syrup and return to the oven for 10 mins more until really sticky.

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.

GARLIC AND ROSEMARY STUFFED SAUSAGES

Steps:

• Place the sausages in a large saucepan; cover with cold water; bring to the boil; simmer gently for 10 minutes; drain and cool.
• To make the stuffing, heat the oil in a large, preferably non-stick, pan; add the onion, leek and garlic cook, stirring occasionally, until soft; remove from the heat; add the stuffing mixtire, water, rosemary and nuts; season with salt and pepper; stir until well-combined.
• Cut lengthways slits in the sausages, taking care not to cut the sausages all the way through; divide the stuffing mixture among the sausages; wrap each sausage in a slice of prosciutto.
• Cook the sausages on a heated, oiled barbecue grill plate, turning occasionally, until browned all over and heated through.
• Serve with in your choice of rolls or bread slices and salad greens or sliced tomato or on a plate with salads.
• Notes: The sausages can be cooked and stuffed one day ahead of when you are planning to cook them.

STICKY SWEET SAUSAGE KABOBS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat. Soak eight wooden skewers in water to prevent burning when grilled.
• Mix honey, mustard, soy sauce, and five spice powder together in a large bowl. Add sausage, shallot, red pepper, zucchini, and carrot, and toss thoroughly to coat. Alternately thread sausage, shallot, red pepper, zucchini, and carrot onto skewers.
• Cook skewers on the prepared grill until sausage is evenly brown and vegetables are tender.

ROSEMARY SKEWERS

Steps:

• PREPARATION:.
• Strip the rosemary leaves from the stems, except for about one inch at the top.
• Roughly chop a couple tablespoons of the leaves and set aside. Store the remaining leaves in the freezer for another use.
• Poke a toothpick through the sides of the olives (for easier assembly); depending on how strong / thick your rosemary skewers are, you may need to do the same for the artichoke hearts and/or mozzarella balls.
• Cut each mozzarella ball in half.
• Cut each piece of salami in half.
• ASSEMBLY:.
• Thread the rosemary in the following order: olive, half mozzarella ball, half salami folded in half, artichoke heart, half salami folded in half, half mozzarella ball, olive.
• Sprinkle with the chopped rosemary.
• Cover and let sit overnight (or at least several hours).
• Just before serving, drizzle a bit of vinaigrette over top. (If you pour it on too soon, the mozzarella will absorb the color of the vinegar and won't be pretty.).
