Grilled Sausage and Peppers with Garlic Aioli
INGREDIENTS:
Sausage and Peppers
- 1 package Never Any! Mild Italian Style Chicken Sausages (4 individual sausages)
- 2 bell peppers, cut into slices
- half of an onion, cut into slices
- ½ tablespoon Stonemill roasted garlic herb grill seasoning
- olive oil, lemon juice, and salt
- 4 specially selected brioche hot dog buns
Garlic Aioli
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon Simply Nature organic garlic stir in paste
- ¼ teaspoon Simply Nature organic basil stir in paste (optional, or sub fresh herbs)
- salt and lemon juice to taste
DIRECTIONS:
- Whisk aioli in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Toss peppers and onions with the garlic herb seasoning (or whatever other spices you want). Drizzle with enough oil so they won’t stick on the grill.
- Place sausages directly on the grill. Place peppers and onion slices in a grill basket or a cast iron pan on the grill. Grill both until you get nice grill marks and the veggies are soft. At the end of grilling time, add the brioche buns, cut side down, to get them toasty.
- Transfer peppers to a bowl and toss with lemon juice, more olive oil as needed, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve each grilled chicken sausage on a toasted bun with a scoop of grilled peppers and a swizzle of your aioli.

The abundance of black cherry and dark plum dominate this wine. The fruit is forward and subtly supported by some oak and bright acidity. The tannins are plush, but relatively soft, offering a wine for many occasions— which will pair with a wide array of foods as well as an enjoyable drink on its own. The variety has an outstanding future ahead of it in Paso Robles.

Winemaker’s Notes:
“The fruit was handpicked and delivered to the winery, crushed and inoculated that same day with Clos yeast. Pump overs were done twice a day throughout the ferment. Fermentation on skins was done at 22.5 Brix for 10 days at 65°F. Maturation took place in French and American hybrid oak barriques for 9 months. The wine stayed in barrel and then filtration was performed and the wine was bottled.
The decision was made to bottle the wine early after sensory evaluation. The wine had come together so well and retained all of the primary fruit characters associated with the variety that further aging was deemed unnecessary.” – Chris Cameron, Winemaker
About Broken Earth Winery:
Celebrating 50 Years: In 1973, Wayne Rodgers (Mash), James Caan (Godfather), Peter Faulk (Columbo), Jack Webb (Dragnet) and local visionary Herman Schwartz established the first large scale vineyard on the Central Coast, planting 520 acres. They anticipated the growth of Paso Robles to be another 2,000 acres with 10-15 wineries over the long-term. Paso Robles now stands around 70,000 acres under vine and over 300 wineries.
Continental Vineyards grew grapes for many Napa wineries in the early 70’s and 80’s. Winemakers from all over the world would travel to this vineyard to see what Paso Robles was capable of growing. This tradition continues today, establishing many new varieties that have never been planted in the US, and have 34 of the 72 varieties grown in the region.
Broken Earth, as a brand, was born from the heritage of the vineyard property originally named “Rancho Tierra Rejada”, meaning “land of worked or farmed earth”. For generations, farmers have cultivated and ‘broken’ the soil in the region with care and respect. Their goal is to respect the land and its treasures. Broken Earth winery encompasses a philosophy to provide wine that reflects the personality of where it is sustainably grown and the personality of its talented craftsmen, the winemaker and crew.
