ITALIAN SAUSAGE WITH RED GRAPES
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 lb sweet Italian sausage (about 12 3- to 4-inch links)
2 lb seedless red grapes, stemmed
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
Accompaniment: sautéed greens with garlic
Heat olive oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook sausages, turning over once, until well browned, about 8 minutes total. Add grapes and cook, stirring occasionally, until sausages are cooked through and grapes are softened, 10 to 12 minutes. Stir in vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.
Makes 6 main-course servings.
