Denver Channel 7’s Mike Nelson is turning up the heat in their new segment, Cooking with Mike! Mike’s admittedly terrible cooking skills make him the perfect host for this cooking series, which is sponsored by our friends at Specialty Appliance. On this episode of Cooking with Mike, Chef Dan and Mike are preparing these delectable Green Chile Meatballs – perfect for appetizers during your big game watch party or a side dish for any meal.

Recipe and video are provided courteous of Specialty Appliance and Denver Channel 7. 

Ingredients:

Meatballs:

  • 1 package of Hot Italian Boulder Sausage

  • To season – cumin, chili powder, coriander, salt and pepper

We used Hot Italian to give it a BOuLDER flavor. Boulder Sausage Hot Italian is authentically blended with peppers and all-natural spices, giving the dish excellent flavor without the need for additional seasoning. Although, for many, flavor preferences vary. Alternatively, use regular Italian Boulder Sausage for a milder flavor.

Preparation:

Meatballs:

  1. Combine all ingredients
  2. Ball and place on a sheet tray
  3. Bake meatball in Jenn Air Convection Steam Oven on convection bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until cooked through

Green Chile:

  1. Aggressively brown the meat and add onions, garlic and cook until translucent
  2. Add cilantro, chilies, tomatoes, spices and chicken stock bring to a boil
  3. Simmer on Jenn Air Induction module for at least ½ an hour to desired consistency

Grilled Sausage and Peaches With Pickled Peppers

By | Hot Italian Sausage | No Comments

 

Grilled Sausage and Peaches With Pickled Peppers

This recipe is inspired by one we found in Food and Wine, but we changed it up a bit  by grilling the peaches,  and adjusting the pickled pepper recipe.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
3 tablespoons Agave
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 lb mini  sweet peppers
2 jalapeños,
1 serrano pepper
1 small onion
Canola oil, for brushing
5 BOULDER SAUSAGE hot Italian sausages
4 medium peaches
 
 

 

Instructions:

1. Thinly slice the peppers and onion. Mix the vinegars with agave, salt and 1/2 cup of water until the salt dissolves. Add the peppers and onion, cover and let stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour.

 
2.Light a grill and oil the grate. While it is heating, slice and remove pits from peaches. Grill the sausages over moderate heat, turning, until lightly charred and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Lightly grill the peach slices for 2 to 3 minutes. Thinly slice the sausage on the bias.
 
 
3. Arrange the grilled peaches on a platter. Top with the sausages and some of the pickled jalapeños and onion. Drizzle with the pickling liquid to taste. Serve the remaining pickles on the side.
 
Prep Time: 30 minutes – Cook Time: 10 minutes – Total Time: 40 minutes – Yield: Serves 6-8

 Directions

Preheat a grill.

Grill the sausage on both sides until golden brown and cooked through, about 10 minutes per side. Brush onions and peppers with the oil and season with salt and pepper.

Place the pizza on the grill, close the cover and grill until the cheese has melted, about 3 to 4 minutes. To finish in the oven, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place the pizza on sheet pans and bake until the cheese has melted, about 5 to 10 minutes.
