Swedish Grilled Falukorv with Root Vegetables

Introduction

Swedish Grilled Falukorv with Root Vegetables is a delicious take on a classic Scandinavian dish. Thick slices of Falukorv sausage are grilled to perfection on the Arteflame, then paired with an assortment of caramelized Swedish root vegetables. By searing the sausage on the high heat of the center grill grate and finishing it on the flat cooktop, you lock in the juices for an unmatched flavor. This balanced dish is both hearty and satisfying, making it perfect for any outdoor feast.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Falukorv sausage, cut into thick slices
• 2 large carrots, sliced
• 2 parsnips, sliced
• 1 rutabaga, diced
• 1 potato, diced
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tbsp whole grain mustard
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the napkins in the grill and stack firewood over them.
3. Light the napkins and allow the fire to burn for about 20 minutes until the cooktop is heated and ready.

Step 2: Prepare the root vegetables

1. Place the sliced carrots, parsnips, rutabaga, and potato on the outer edge of the Arteflame flat cooktop.
2. Add the red onion and drizzle with melted butter.
3. Season with salt, black pepper, and thyme.
4. Allow the vegetables to cook slowly, turning occasionally, until golden and caramelized.

Step 3: Sear the Falukorv sausage

1. Place the Falukorv slices on the center grill grate to sear at high heat (1,000°F).
2. Let each slice sear for about 2 minutes per side until caramelized.
3. Move the seared sausage to the inner flat cooktop to finish cooking to the desired doneness.

Step 4: Add flavor to the dish

1. Brush the sausage and vegetables with whole grain mustard and a touch of honey.
2. Let them cook for another minute on the flat cooktop until glazed.

Step 5: Serve and enjoy

1. Remove the Falukorv sausage when the internal temperature reaches 15°F below the final desired temp.
2. Plate the grilled sausage with the caramelized root vegetables.
3. Garnish with fresh thyme and serve immediately.

Tips

• Always remove meat from the grill 15°F before the target temp as it keeps cooking.
• Use butter instead of oil for better flavor.
• Cook vegetables on the cooler edges for even caramelization without burning.

Variations

1. Cheese-Stuffed Falukorv: Add cheese slices between Falukorv slices for a melty surprise.
2. Spiced Falukorv: Sprinkle smoked paprika and chili flakes for a smoky-spicy kick.
3. Lemon Herb Falukorv: Drizzle with lemon zest and rosemary for a fresh twist.
4. Maple Mustard Glaze: Replace honey with maple syrup for a deeper sweetness.
5. Garlic Butter Falukorv: Brush with garlic-infused butter for extra richness.
