Debreziner

My humble entry, if I may.

Had the OTS and WSM fired up early today to start cooking later in the day, decided to make good use of the charcoal.

Picked up some Debreziner wurst a couple of days back and pulled them out of the deep freeze last night.

Indirect until they reached 160 and then over the coals for some grill marks.



Served on fresh rolls with German prepared mustard, onions and German double smoked bacon.



Thanks for looking :)
 
Festival of Sausage!

In keeping with the "Sausages" theme, I thought I would throwdown a few yummies for your consideration...

The sausage menu consists of 2 Roasted Red Pepper Sausage Links I picked up on special, a package of Johnsonville Cheese Brats (my personal favorite), and a package of Johnsonville Spicy Chorizo that I am going to stuff with gorgonzola cheese and then wrap in a bacon web...


The Chorizo has a lovely texture. I have never gotten the J'ville brand before, and I am happily surprised at the quality. Here I mashed the sausage out to stuff with gorgonzola...


I picked up some thick cut bacon to make a weave, so I can have a nice bacon wrapping...


Now everything is prepped and waiting for some coddling in Boss Hog's cooking chamber...


Here is Boss Hog getting ready for the event. I am starting him off with a chimney of Wicked Good Weekend Warrior...


The meat is on the smoker after adding some oak to the fire...


I had one slice of bacon left over from the weave, so I used it to wrap one of the cheese brats. Here it is ready to come off...


All the sausage was ready in about 3 1/2 hours, and here is a shot of them all, with the Roasted Red Pepper Links up front...


Time to plate it all up, and get busy with my eating utensils, but before I do, I would like to share some with my friends! :-D


Now this is what I call a festival of sausage! It was all so very tender, juicy, and oh yes... tasty too! :-D

Manicotti Stuffed with Sausage with a White Cream Sauce

Starting with half pound mild and hot Italian sausage. Minced zucchini, yellow neck squash, mushrooms, red onion and some fresh herbs (basil, rosemary, oregano) from the garden. Used about ½ cup ricotta cheese not shown to mix everything together.

Cook Sausage in CI and the Veggies in another CI. When the sausage was almost done added the herbs to finish seasoning. While the meat and veggies were cooking was also cooking the manicotti.

Italian Sausage with Peppers n Onions on Kings Hawaiians

Hi all. I'm still pretty new around here. Love the Challenge Pit idea! Sausage huh? OK. Lets see what I can do.

First of all, I love me some Italian sausage.
10491999_10202151967622385_3899947653020810254_n.jpg


I sliced up four bell peppers and a fairly large red onion. added butter, salt and pepper and a couple tablespoons minced garlic.
10553370_10202151967702387_2649251319929712826_n.jpg


I cut the sausage into bun-sized pieces and added to the onions & peppers.

Covered and on the cool side of the grill for a half hour.
10352351_10202151967742388_2258310398676513680_n.jpg


after 30 minutes: uncover and brown the sausages.

After browning, I returned the sausages to the pan and recovered. Back on the grill for another 20 minutes or so.

Meanwhile, the buns. I snapped off three Kings Hawaiian dinners rolls at a time and sliced length-wise to create buns. I browned them for a couple minutes on the grill.

Never seen anyone use Kings Hawaiian rolls for buns before. Great Idea! A Hawaiian Italian sausage. Gotta try that.
 
Franconia Bratwurst and Nuremberger Bratwurst

Hi All,

Ok I am back from my holidays in Italy and now I want some superb German sausages.
Therefore I thought to myself why don't participate at this throwdown.
Sausages and sauerkraut are a German speciality especially in Franconia where some of the most famous sausages are made, called the Nuremberger (Nürnberger).

OK - Here we go - My ten pics. (pay attention to the turtle which is always nice for my children)

On this hot and humid day I decided to do another entry with a dish I made after I discovered a giant zucchini hiding under a bunch of leaves on our zucchini plant.
So here we go.
The dish is a stuffed zucchini with sausage and a sauce made with red and yellow bell pepper, onion, fresh basil, oregano, garlic, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper, EVOO which is purred in a food processor.
The sausage mixture is a mix of mild and hot Italian sausage, bread crumbs, Romano cheese, plus a half cup of the sauce.
Then the stuffed zucchini is cooked on direct medium heat for about 15 minutes.
We served it over rice with some additional sauce.
Really good this is for sure a keeper.

There are so many great sausages in this throw down that any one of them could be a winner. Soon we will find out.
