Chimichurri Mixed Grill
- 1 1/4 cups white wine vinegar
- 1 cup finely chopped parsley
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 4 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 jalapeno, minced
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 3 pounds hot sausage, coiled or links
- 3 pounds sweet sausage, coiled or links
- 2 dozen chicken wings, split into drumettes and wing pieces
- 4 dozen littleneck clams, scrubbed
- To make the chimichurri sauce, combine the vinegar, parsley, olive oil, garlic, jalapeno and salt in a bowl.
- Let the chimichurri sauce stand at room temperature for 1 to 4 hours.
- Light a grill.
- For coiled sausage, cross 2 long skewers through the sausage, making an X.
- For sausage links and chicken wings, pierce each piece crosswise with 2 parallel wooden skewers, held about 1/2 inch apart, threading 4 or 5 rows on each pair of skewers.
- Grill them over a moderately hot fire, turning once or twice, until crusty and cooked through.
- Transfer to a large platter and cover loosely with foil.
- Stoke the fire with additional charcoal; for gas grills, increase the heat to high.
- Add 1 tablespoon of the sauce to each of two 10-inch metal cake pans and divide the clams between them.
- Set the pans on the grill, cover the grill and steam the clams until they open, about 8 minutes.
- Serve at once and pass the remaining sauce separately.
