Grilled Spaghetti Sauce???

Well not exactly, but I did let the Italian Sausage get happy on my Small BGE. The sausage, that is second from the left, split just as I turned it and the flame came out and traveled over the top. I could not believe it when I saw it and really cannot believe I caught it on film.

I sauteed some thinly sliced onions in butter. I learned from Cooks Illustrated that something in the onions makes them brown much better in butter than in olive oil and after trying it a couple of times, I think they are right.

I added some button mushrooms and some fresh artichokes.

After the onions, shrooms and artichokes were happy, I stirred in a can of tomato paste and let it caramelize a bit before glazing with red wine. Then I stirred in three cans of fire roasted, chopped tomatoes, some garlic, fresh oregano and pepper flakes. All that is getting happy along with the sliced sausage. Should be good!

    Looks fantastic!

    I grilled sausages yesterday thinking of sauce, but as soon as they were off the grill, my wife ate one and my 4 year old ate one. So I sliced one up and tossed into some pasta, olive oil, and red pepper flakes...
