Spiraled Grilled Sausages
Ingredients List
-
2 (3.5 ounce) links Italian sausage
-
1 ½ cups water
-
1 pinch salt
-
2 metal skewers
-
1 tablespoon barbeque sauce, or to taste
Cooking Instructions
Place the sausages in a skillet over medium heat and add water. Sprinkle in a generous pinch of salt and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook the sausages for about 3 minutes on each side.
Remove the sausages from the pan and allow them to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill. Afterward, skewer each sausage lengthwise with a metal skewer.
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Pour the barbecue sauce into a small bowl, ready for glazing.
Place a sausage on a flat surface. Start by making a shallow cut about 3/4 inch from one end, holding the knife at a slight angle to the skewer. Gradually rotate the sausage while cutting in a spiral pattern, stopping about 1 inch from the other end. Gently fan out the sausage on the skewer to create roughly 1/2 inch of space between each spiral section.
Place the sausages on the preheated grill and cook, turning occasionally, until they are browned and the meat is no longer pink inside, about 6 minutes.
When the sausages are nearly cooked, brush them with barbecue sauce using a pastry brush. Continue grilling, turning the sausages, until the sauce has caramelized onto the meat, about 1 minute per side. Transfer the sausages to a plate and let them cool for 30 seconds before removing the skewers and serving.
