• Grits:
• 5 cups water
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup stone-ground yellow grits
• 1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated fresh Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
• Cooking spray
• Tomato sauce:
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 cups finely chopped onion
• 1 cup thinly sliced celery
• 6 fennel seeds
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes, undrained
• 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
• 6 basil leaves
• 2 bay leaves
• 2 dried chile peppers, lightly crushed
• Remaining ingredient:
• 12 (1/2-ounce) chicken-apple sausages (such as Aidell's)

1. To prepare grits, bring water and salt to a boil in a large saucepan; gradually stir in grits. Reduce heat; simmer 30 minutes or until thick, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in cheese, white pepper, and pepper sauce.
2. Spread grits into a 15 x 10-inch jelly roll pan coated with cooking spray; cool completely on a wire rack. Cover with plastic wrap; chill 30 minutes.
3. To prepare tomato sauce, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery; saute 5 minutes or until onion is tender. Add fennel seeds and garlic; saute 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add tomatoes, marjoram, basil, bay leaves, and chiles; cook 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Discard bay leaves.
4. Prepare grill pan.
5. Invert grits onto cutting board; cut into 12 squares. Place the squares on grill pan coated with cooking spray, and grill 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and thoroughly heated. Remove from pan; keep warm.
6. Place sausages in pan; grill 8 minutes, turning occasionally. Arrange 3 grits squares in each of 4 bowls. Top each serving with 3 sausages and 1/4 cup sauce.
