Dinner Tonight: Roasted Italian Sausages With Grapes Recipe

• 1 1/2 pounds spicy Italian sausage
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cups red seedless grapes
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer. Pierce the sausages all over with a knife, then gently lower into the pot. Cook for 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 450u0b0F. Set a large iron skillet or roasting pan on top of a burner over medium-low heat. Add the butter and oil. When the butter has melted, add the grapes and toss until coated. Turn off the burner.
3. Nestle the sausage in amongst the grapes. Set skillet or roasting pan in the oven and cook for 30 minutes, flipping the sausage halfway through. The sausages should be browned. If not then cook for an additional 5 minutes.
4. Transfer the sausages and grapes to a plate, leaving the liquid behind. Set the pan on a burner set over medium heat. Add the vinegar and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits. Let the vinegar reduce by half.
5. Serve the sausages on top of the grapes, and pour the sauce over everything.
