Grilled Sausages with Apple Mustard
ACTIVE 30 MIN; TOTAL 1 HR 10 MIN SERVES 8

For grilled sausages with a lightly charred exterior and juicy bite, chef and cookbook author Tyler Florence first sears the links on the hot side of the grill and then finishes them over indirect heat. These sausages are topped with sweet apple mustard and giardiniera, a tangy mix of pickled vegetables. The fruity mustard, which comes together in a foil packet on the grill before it's blended smooth, is also great served with grilled chicken, pork tenderloin, or tossed with roasted brussels sprouts.

1. Make the apple mustard: Preheat a gas grill to medium (350°F to 400°F) on one side, or push hot coals to one side of a charcoal grill. Stir together apple, onion, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Transfer mixture to a large sheet of aluminum foil; fold foil over apple mixture, and seal edges to create a packet. Place foil packet on grates over unlit side of grill. Grill, covered, until apples are very soft, about 30 minutes.
