Cuisine: Grill
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb sausage, cut into chunks
- 1 bell pepper, cut into pieces
- 1 onion, cut into pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by cutting sausage into 1-inch chunks, bell pepper and onion into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine olive oil, chopped fresh parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to create a herb marinade.
- Toss the sausage chunks, bell pepper, and onion pieces in the herb marinade, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400-450°F, or prepare a grill pan if cooking indoors.
- Thread the marinated sausage, bell pepper, and onion pieces alternately onto metal or pre-soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small space between each ingredient for even heat distribution.
- Place the prepared kebabs on the preheated grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, rotating every 3-4 minutes to ensure all sides are evenly grilled and achieve a nice char.
- Check that sausage is fully cooked by ensuring internal temperature reaches 160°F using a meat thermometer.
- Remove kebabs from grill, let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, then garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve hot with your choice of side dishes such as rice, salad, or grilled vegetables.
Tips
- Choose high-quality sausage for the best flavor and texture.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Cut all ingredients into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Don't overcrowd your skewers - leave small spaces between ingredients for proper heat circulation.
- Use a meat thermometer to guarantee sausages are cooked to a safe internal temperature of 160°F.
- Let kebabs rest for a few minutes after grilling to retain their juicy goodness.
- For extra flavor, try marinating the sausage and vegetables for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Experiment with different herb combinations in your marinade for unique flavor profiles.
