Grilled Squash and Sausage

I first made this last year when we were in Denver visiting my best friend Juliethe whole family went gaga, and it quickly became our go-to summer recipe. It's the perfect recipe to have in mind when browsing the farmers market (ours now hosts a local sausage maker too), and a great excuse to break in your grill pan!

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds summer squash, cut into 1-inch pieces on a roll-cut
  • 1 large onion, lpeeled and cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch slices
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 links raw pork or chicken sausage, removed from casing

Instructions

  • Heat grill to medium with a grill pan. Toss squash and onion with olive oil, salt and pepper. Crumble raw sausage mixture into bowl, and toss to mix.
  • When grill is hot, pour mixture into grill pan. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, tossing every few minutes, until squash is tender and slightly charred, and sausage is cooked through.

Iowa City Chili

There’s a chill in the air here in the Heartland, the kind of windy, rainy days that drill into your bones and create a hankerin’ for a rib-sticking bowl of chili. It’s also a great way to use up the last of your tomatoes and peppers, or to begin to use your new “puttin’ ups” (as Kurt’s grandma used to call them).

Braising renders tough cuts like these beef short ribs meltingly tender with relatively little hands-on cooking time (and the glaze makes the flavors even more intense). The ribs freeze beautifully, so cook up this extra large batch and stash half away for a later date.
