Welsh Sausage and Red Onion Skewers on the Arteflame Grill

Introduction

Welsh Sausage and Red Onion Skewers are a fantastic way to enjoy smoky, juicy meats infused with a perfect charred sweetness. Grilling these on the Arteflame lets you harness its high heat for the best sear, while the flat top ensures evenly cooked perfection.

Ingredients

• 6 traditional Welsh sausages
• 2 large red onions, cut into wedges
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place them inside the Arteflame grill and stack firewood on top.
3. Light the napkins and allow the grill to heat for about 20 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the skewers

1. Skewer the Welsh sausages and red onion wedges alternately onto the soaked wooden skewers.
2. In a small bowl, mix the butter, whole grain mustard, honey, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
3. Brush the skewers generously with the butter mixture.

Step 3: Sear the sausages

1. Place the skewers on the center grill grate at 1,000F to sear the sausages, cooking for about 1-2 minutes per side.
2. Once seared, move them to the flat cooktop to finish cooking evenly, rotating occasionally for another 6-8 minutes.

Step 4: Check doneness and serve

1. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Remove the sausages when they reach 150F, as they will continue to cook after being removed from the heat.
2. Let the skewers rest for a few minutes before serving.
3. Serve hot with extra mustard or dipping sauces.

Tips

• Always soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
• Use quality Welsh sausages for the best flavor.
• Let the grilled sausages rest before serving to retain their juices.

Variations

• Garlic Herb Twist: Mix minced garlic and chopped fresh herbs like thyme and rosemary into the butter mixture.
• Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or hot sauce to the butter glaze for an extra kick.
• BBQ Glazed: Brush the skewers with your favorite BBQ sauce instead of mustard and honey.
• Mediterranean Style: Add cherry tomatoes and drizzle with tzatziki sauce after grilling.
• Sweet and Savory: Replace honey with maple syrup and add grilled apples to the skewers.

Best pairings

• Grilled Buttered Corn
• Rustic Grilled Potatoes
• Fresh Garden Salad
