POLISH SAUSAGE KABOBS WITH SPICY TOMATO SAUCE

Category: Kabobs/Kebobs/Skewers

Sauce:
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp chopped shallot
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup marinara or spaghetti sauce
1/4 cup purchased Italian salad dressing
1 tbsp chopped Italian (flat-leaf) parsley

Kabobs:
1 lb precooked Polish sausage or kielbasa ring, cut into 16 pieces
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 12 pieces
1 large green bell pepper, cut into 12 pieces
1 medium zucchini, cut into 8 pieces
8 thin wedges red onion
1 tsp garlic-pepper blend
2 tbsp purchased Italian salad dressing

Heat grill. Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add shallot and garlic; cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add marinara sauce; mix well. Reduce heat to low; simmer while preparing kabobs, stirring occasionally.

In large bowl, combine all kabob ingredients; mix to coat. Alternately thread sausage, bell peppers, zucchini and onion onto four 12 to 14-inch metal skewers.

When ready to grill, place kabobs on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals. Cook 8 to 10 minutes or until sausage is thoroughly heated and vegetables are crisp-tender, turning frequently.

With wire whisk, stir 1/4 cup salad dressing and parsley into marinara sauce until well mixed. Serve warm sauce with kabobs. Serves 4
