Sausage Sandwiches

I found some interesting lamb & mint sausages on my latest trip to the Dekalb Farmers Market.

I grilled these up along with red onion and red pepper.  Everything got cut up, covered with havarti cheese and served atop a fresh roll.

I finally learned the trick to cooking sausages on the grill is to keep them away from the fire and let them cook slowly at a lower temp; then just before removing, move them over to the high temp area and let them get a bit of color.  They turn out much better this way (thanks Jamie Oliver!)

Roasted Tomato & Asparagus Pizza

A simple summertime pizza with asparagus and roasted tomatoes.

The sauce is just a mixture of olive oil and roasted garlic.  Mix it together to form a paste and lightly coat the dough before adding the other ingredients.

The tomatoes are sliced, seasoned and slowly roasted at 350 until they dehydrate a bit and the flavor is concentrate.  Asparagus is blanched so it will be soft and retain it's color.  Last, top with some slices of fresh mozzarella.  Simple but delicious.
