Grilled lamb sausage and sweet pepper with hot pepper sauce

By Maranda Engelbrecht

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cooking Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

500 g dhania lamb sausage, cut into chunks
4-6 medium-sized sweet peppers, sliced lengthways

for the sauce

1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 hot red chilli, chopped
1 t smoked paprika
1 x 400 g can chopped tomato
½ cup chicken stock
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
chopped fresh coriander leaves, for sprinkling
baked or steamed sweet potatoes, for serving

Method

Thread the sausage onto soaked bamboo skewers. Repeat with the sweet peppers. Grill the peppers until starting to char. Grill the sausages until nicely browned, but still moist.
To make the sauce: Cook the onion in 30–45ml (1–2T) olive oil until softened. Stir in the garlic, chilli and paprika, then stir in the tomato and stock, and cook for about 15 minutes, until reduced and thickened. Check seasoning.
To serve: Serve the grilled sausage and pepper with the hot pepper sauce, sprinkle with fresh coriander leaves, and serve with baked or steamed sweet potatoes on the side.
Cook’s note: Spicy chorizo sausage or fat
German-style sausages would also work well. Buy ready-made Arrabiata sauce if you're short on time.
