These are some of our favorite recipes, mostly from Cooking Light, but we tend to edit portions and ingredients
that suit our taste buds (e.g. when a recipe calls for 1 minced garlic clove, we use about 4 :) ).
Other recipes are passed down from family and friends.

Sauteed Sausage and Grapes with Broccoli

Grapes and sausage pair together really well ~ who would've thought?! :)


Yield: Serves 4 (serving size: 1 3/4 cups)
Total: 38 Minutes
Ingredients:
1 pound broccoli, trimmed and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 (4-ounce) links hot or sweet pork Italian sausage, casings removed
3 cups green grapes, sliced in half lengthwise
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup white wine (water)
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, shaved (about 1/4 cup) (skip)

Preparation:
1. Cook broccoli in boiling water 1 1/2 minutes; drain and rinse with cold water. Drain well. Place in a large bowl. Set aside.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add sausage; cook for 6 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Add grapes, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper; cook for 2 minutes or until grapes begin to soften. Add sausage mixture to broccoli.
3. Return pan to medium-high heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add onion; cook 2 minutes or until soft. Add garlic; cook 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add wine; cook 2 minutes or until liquid almost evaporates. Add remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper, sausage mixture, and vinegar. Toss to combine; cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with cheese; serve immediately.
