Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds hot Italian sausage (6 to 7 links)
  • 4 bone-in chicken breasts, each about 12 ounces, trimmed of excess fat
  • 1 recipe Salsa Verde, recipe follows
  • 2 racks lamb, each about 2 pounds, frenched and trimmed of excess fat
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Finely ground sea salt, preferably gray salt
  • 4 lemons, cut in 1/2 crosswise
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 to 8 summer squashes, sliced 1/2-inch thick

Salsa Verde:

  • 4 slices (approximately 2 ounces) white bread
  • 2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar
  • 2 bunches Italian parsley, picked and cleaned
  • 16 cornichons
  • 1/4 cup capers, rinsed
  • 4 to 5 anchovies
  • 1 3/4 cups extra-virgin olive oil
  • Gray salt or course sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

In a large saucepan of barely boiling salted water, cook the sausages for 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the sausages cool in the liquid. Refrigerate.

Marinate the chicken. Spoon enough salsa verde over the chicken to coat evenly.

Marinate the lamb in the same fashion as the chicken. Let both meats marinate chilled in separate containers for about 8 hours.

Before grilling let the sausages, chicken, and lamb sit at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.

Preheat the grill to high. Clean the grate with a brass-bristle brush. Reduce the heat to medium.

Lightly coat the sausages with oil. Season the chicken on all sides with 2 teaspoons salt, pressing it into the meat. Season the racks of lamb on all sides with 2 teaspoons salt, pressing it into the meat. Season the cut side of the lemons with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Grill the chicken and lamb racks over direct medium heat until well browned on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally. Move the chicken and lamb to indirect heat and continue to cook for 10 more minutes. Leaving the chicken and lamb rack to continue cooking over indirect heat, grill the sausages over direct medium heat for about 6 to 8 minutes. Move the sausages to indirect heat to finish cooking for 4 to 6 minutes. Season the summer squash with olive oil, salt and pepper, and grill over direct heat until caramelized and fully cooked. During the last few minutes of grilling, grill the lemons cut side down over direct medium heat until well browned, about 2 minutes.

Remove everything from the grill and let the rest at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes. Cut the meats into serving-size pieces. Arrange on a large platter and garnish with the lemons and salsa verde. Guests

For the salsa verde:

Soak the slices of bread in 2 tablespoons vinegar for 1 minute. Using a food processor blend all ingredients together, taste for seasoning and adjust consistency if need be.

    Good recipe for mixed grill; usually in Italy we also cook some spare ribs, turkey breasts and "pancetta" (Italian bacon.
    To cook the Salsa verde (green salsa the traditional recipe doesn't include cornichons, but only white bread, parsley, garlic, 1 teaspoon of capers, anchovy, eggs, olive oil (extravergin olive oil is better salt and vinegar to taste.
    The preparation is very simple and fast (10 min:
    you must pass the soft part of a bread loaf through a sieve, chop the capers and anchovy and mix with parsley and garlic, adding oil and vinegar to taste.
    Remember: use freshly-chopped parsley: if you leave it to rest it will ferment and acquire a strong flavor.

    Saw this episode and was immediately fascinated with the salsa verde concept. We had a big party last night and served sausage, chicken and skirt & flank steaks - all of which were coated in the marinade. Everyone was happy - the kids loved it as well. I'll be making this again...no doubt!

    I made this recipe last year, right after I saw it on the show. I find myself looking it up again and again! This works with chicken, beef - didn't have any sausages, but I'll have to try. Serve with crusty bread to sop up the juices!
