I
was an immediate fan of Gold’n Plump ground chicken after they
generously sent me a sample last fall. So when they offered to send me a
sample of their new line of chicken sausages, I was very excited.
Though I like pork, I am not smitten with brats and pork sausages. They
are too greasy for me. I have always like chicken sausages as an
alternative, and Gold'n Plump chicken sausages are no exception.
I
first sampled the Parmesan Italian sausage. I had already had a simple
pasta dinner in mind, and the chicken sausage fit perfectly into the
picture--and the bowl. I grilled the sausages whole, and tossed a few
asparagus spears on the grill at the same time. Meanwhile I boiled some
pasta, drained it and coated it with olive oil. I cut up the sausages
and asparagus, tossed in fresh sage and parsley from the garden, and
presto--a 20-minute dinner perfect for a hot summer night. Oh, wait
don’t forget the parmesan; SarVecchio, how I love you!
My
kids chose to add a bit, actually a lot, of tomato sauce, but I
preferred the flavorful and simple taste of the sausage, cheese,
asparagus and fresh herbs. Unfortunately, the breakfast sausages were
devoured before I could photograph them, or even do anything more than
heat and eat them; they are that good. Now, what delicious fate awaits
the Hot Italian sausages and brats...?
