Adding a bright parsley-tarragon vinaigrette brings fresh flair to sausage and peppers. Serve with some crusty bread to sop it all up.

Grilled Sausage, Peppers, and Onions With Herb Vinaigrette

Active Time: 30 minutes Total Time: 30 minutes
Serves 4
  • 2 large bell peppers, seeded and quartered
  • 2 large red onions, cut into wedges
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated, divided
  • 1 teaspoon ground fennel seed
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage links
  • 1 bunch scallions, trimmed
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, plus more for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, plus more for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
  • Pinch of salt
Preheat grill to medium-high.

Toss peppers, onions, half the garlic, and 1 teaspoon ground fennel seed with 1 tablespoon oil in a large bowl.

Oil the grill rack. Grill the peppers and onions, sausage, and scallions, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the sausage registers 165 degrees F, about 4 minutes for the scallions, 8 minutes for the sausage, and 10 to 12 minutes for the peppers and onions. Transfer to a clean cutting board. Slice the vegetables and sausage into 2-inch pieces.

Whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and garlic with the parsley, tarragon, vinegar, and salt in a medium bowl. Add the vegetables and toss to coat. Serve the vegetables with the sausage, topped with more parsley and tarragon, if desired.
