Tonight’s dinner is courtesy of Publix Apron’s Meals, one of my favorite sources of recipes. It’s a grilled sausage recipe, with a delicious fruit relish.
Ingredients
2 kiwifruit (rinsed)
1 mango or papaya (rinsed), (or 1 cup fresh papaya slices)
1 carambola (star fruit), optional (rinsed)
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
[tasty with regular balsamic as well!]
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups water
1 cup apple juice
4 fully cooked chicken (or turkey) sausage links, about 3/4 lb
[Note: we used an all-natural apple and maple syrup chicken sausage that was absolutely delectable!]
4 whole grain hot dog or sandwich buns
[Note: we used whole wheat dinner rolls, and cut the sausage links in half]
Steps
- Peel fruit (except carambola), remove seeds, and cut each into very small pieces (about 2 cups); place in medium bowl. Stir in vinegar and salt; set aside.
- Preheat grill (or grill pan). Combine in medium saucepan, water, apple juice, and sausage links (wash hands). Bring to a boil on high. Reduce heat to low; cook 5 minutes or until hot.
- Place sausage links on grill or grill pan (wash hands); close lid of grill (or cover loosely with foil). Grill 5-7 minutes or until outside of sausage is crisp and brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Use a meat thermometer to accurately ensure doneness. (Grills vary widely; adjust time as needed.)
- Place one sausage on each bun; top with fruit relish. Add additional fruit relish on side and serve.
