Grilled Sausage, Peppers and Onions with Herb Vinaigrette

Makes: 4 servings

Active time: 30 minutes

Total time: 30 minutes

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

1. Heat grill to medium-high.

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

3. 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, 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.

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