This recipe pairs Italian sausage, fennel and La Chertosa Chardonnay and brings a taste of Italy to you. Simmering the sausages before you grill makes this recipe easy to prepare in advance and grill once it is time for dinner!
Ingredients
- 1 lb sweet or hot Italian sausages
- 2 bulbs fennel, tops trimmed
- 2 cups La Chertosa Reserve Chardonnay
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 portobello mushrooms
- 2 tbsps Finest Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 tbsps Balsamic vinegar
Directions
Pierce the sausages with a toothpick. Quarter the fennel bulbs lengthwise. Place sausages and fennel in a saucepan, add wine, fennel seeds, and oregano, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Cool the sausages and fennel, then slice each sausage into thirds on the diagonal. Cut portobello mushrooms into 1-inch slices.
Thread sausage, fennel, and mushrooms onto skewers. Refrigerate until ready to grill.
Mix olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Brush skewers with the mixture.
Grill skewers, turning once, until sausages are browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Serve hot with grilled bread and La Chertosa Reserve Chardonnay.
