Italian Sausage with Red Grapes

Original Recipe HERE

I was doubtful about how this would turn out, but it had a refreshingly different-yet-appealing taste.  The spiciness of the sausage was nicely balanced out with the "tang" of the cooked grapes and the obvious balsamic flavor.  It couldn't be much easier, too.  I served it over rice.

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons olive oil

1 to 2 pounds sweet Italian sausage [I used chicken sausage]

1 to 2 pounds seedless red grapes, stemmed

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Salt & pepper

Directions

(1) Cut sausages in half lengthwise, then into slices.

(2) Heat oil in skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.  Cook sausages until well browned.

(3) Add grapes.  Cook, stirring occasionally, until sausages are cooked through and grapes are softened (about 10 to 12 minutes).

(4) Stir in vinegar.  Add salt and pepper to taste.
