Subj : Nat Mushroom Month - 3 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Sat Sep 17 2022 17:41:24 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Grilled Sausage & Mushroom Bowls Categories: Grains, Greens, Pork, Mushrooms, Sauces Yield: 4 Servings MMMMM------------------------GRAIN BOWLS----------------------------- 1 c Uncooked millet or other - favourite grain +=OR=+ 4 c Cooked grains 1/2 c Chimichurri, pesto, or other - favourite flavorful sauce MMMMM----------------GRILLED SAUSAGES/VEGETABLES--------------------- 1 lb Cremini or baby bella - mushrooms; sliced thick - or quartered (small ones) 2 Heads romaine lettuce 1 bn Green onions 2 1/2 tb Olive oil 4 Fresh sausages links; any - favourite kind Salt & pepper COOK THE GRAINS: Prepare the grains according to package instructions, letting them cook while you prepare the rest of the recipe. The grains can be cooked several days in advance. Reheat before serving. PREHEAT YOUR GRILL: Prepare one side of the grill for direct grilling and one side for indirect heat. The grill is ready when you can hover your hand 3" to 4" above the hot side of the grill for only a couple of seconds before feeling discomfort. PREPARE THE VEGETABLES FOR GRILLING: Cut smaller mushrooms into halves and larger mushrooms into thick, 3/4" slices. Skewer the mushrooms through the stem, from bottom to top, so they will lay flat on the grill. Cut the heads of romaine into quarters through the root. The wedges should remain attached at the root; it's ok if a few outer leaves fall off (save those for sandwiches!). In a small bowl, mix two and a half tablespoons olive oil with a heavy pinch of salt and black pepper. Brush the oil evenly over all of the mushrooms, the green onions, and the romaine, and set aside. GRILL THE SAUSAGES & MUSHROOMS: Brush grates with a bit of extra oil and place the sausages and mushrooms on the cooler side of the grill. Close the lid and cook for 5 minutes, then flip the sausages and mushrooms. Close the lid and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until sausages are almost entirely cooked through. (If your sausages are pre-cooked, they just need to be warmed through.) Move the sausages and mushrooms to the hot side of the grill and cook on each side for 1 to 2 minutes until they show grill marks and are caramelized. Transfer the sausages and mushrooms to a platter to rest while you grill the rest of the vegetables. Grill the green onions and romaine: Place the green onions and romaine halves on the hot side of the grill, and grill for about one minute on each side. Transfer to a serving platter. TO SERVE: Slice each sausage into three large pieces. Fill each bowl with 1/2 to 1 cup of cooked grains and top with a few pieces of sausage, some green onions, some mushrooms, and a wedge of romaine. Drizzle with chimichurri and top with fresh herbs. NOTES: Used Quick-cooking barley for the grain - which went well with the garlic sausages I had on hand. An accessory made for grilling fish filets made grilling the scallions much easier than using the open grill. For the sauce I cut some Koon Chun Hoisin I had in the larder with Kikkoman Soy to kill some of the sweetness.
