Fire-Grilled Swiss Sausage Platter

Introduction

Experience the rich flavors of Switzerland with this fire-grilled Swiss sausage platter. Grilled to perfection on the Arteflame, these sausages are seared on the 1,000°F center grill grate to lock in their juices before finishing on the surrounding flat cooktop for the perfect doneness. This method ensures a crisp, caramelized exterior with a juicy interior. Paired with grilled potatoes, onions, and mustard, this platter is the ultimate comfort dish for any grilling enthusiast.
