Italian Sausage with Grilled Broccolini, Kale, and Lemon

Italian Sausage with Grilled Broccolini, Kale, and Lemon

Even sausage can dry out when overcooked; we like browning them over direct heat, then moving them to a cooler spot to finish cooking.

INGREDIENTS

* 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for grill
* 3 tablespoons crushed unsalted, roasted almonds
* 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
* 1 tablespoon drained capers
* 1 teaspoon honey
* Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
* 2 bunches broccolini (about 1½ pounds)
* 1 bunch small Tuscan kale, tough stems removed
* 1½ pounds coiled Italian sausage, preferably skewered, or links
* 1 lemon, thinly sliced into rounds, seeds removed
* 2 ounces mild Pecorino, shaved

RECIPE PREPARATION
* Prepare a grill for medium-high, indirect heat (for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off; for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill); oil grate. Mix almonds, lemon juice, capers, honey, and 4 Tbsp. oil in a small bowl; season dressing with salt and pepper.?
* Combine broccolini and kale in a large bowl and drizzle with remaining 1 Tbsp. oil. Toss well to evenly coat vegetables; season with salt.??
* Grill sausage over direct heat until browned all over, about 3 minutes per side. Move to indirect heat and continue to cook, turning and rotating occasionally, until cooked through, 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a platter.?
* Meanwhile, cook broccolini and kale over direct heat until kale is lightly browned and crisp around the edges and broccolini stem is crisp-tender, about 1 minute for kale and 3 minutes for broccolini. Transfer back to bowl.?
* Grill lemon slices over direct heat until lightly browned, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to bowl with broccolini and kale and add half of dressing and half of Pecorino. Toss to combine; season salad with salt and pepper.?
* Mound some of the salad on top of the sausage and leave some in the bowl. Drizzle remaining dressing over all of the salad and top with remaining Pecorino.
