"We grilled some sausages the other night, and two days later, I saw them lurking in the refrigerator and figured that I could either stand here and eat them cold, or take the time to turn them into something delicious -- so that's what I did," says Barb, who used a variety of Marczyk-made sausages, including a hot Italian link, a sweet Italian link, a chicken sausage and a bratwurst in the following recipe. "It's prime grilling season right now," she adds, "and the sausages we carry at Marczyk's are perfect grilling sausages with lots of flavor." Barb recommends pairing the dish with a bottle of Chianti.
