Grilled Kielbasa, Green Peppers & Onions--A Mixed Grill

By Kathryn Washburn Breighner

I love this simple 'supper' dish (my Indiana is showing)! When our Serbian 'son' lived with us, he loved this dish and once we visited Serbia, we realized why: it is very similar to mixed grill dishes in Serbia.

Kielbasa is a favorite of mine for this recipe although I can use other sausages with this like Smoked Polish Sausage. I use a grill basket on the grill during grilling season and a cast iron skillet on the cook top during the cold weather months.

For 2 of us, we use:
1 lb kielbasa cut into 2" chunks
1 large green pepper cut into 2" chunks
1 med sweet onion cut into 2" chunks

Toss with 3 T olive oil, salt and pepper and a splash of cayenne and grill, stirring frequently, until the sausage is brown and the veggies soft, about 15 minutes.

One variation: add a handful or two of cubed (large cubes) of potatoes but put the potatoes on first for about 5 min (making sure they are coated with olive oil so they don't stick) and then add the remaining ingredients.

Serve with a hot mustard and you've got dinner!
