     Title: Grilled Sausage & Mushroom Bowls
Categories: Grains, Greens, Pork, Mushrooms, Sauces
     Yield: 4 Servings

MMMMM------------------------GRAIN BOWLS-----------------------------
     1 c  Uncooked millet or other
          - favourite grain
          +=OR=+
     4 c  Cooked grains
   1/2 c  Chimichurri, pesto, or other
          - favourite flavorful sauce

MMMMM----------------GRILLED SAUSAGES/VEGETABLES---------------------
     1 lb Cremini or baby bella
          - mushrooms; sliced thick
          - or quartered (small ones)
     2    Heads romaine lettuce
     1 bn Green onions
 2 1/2 tb Olive oil
     4    Fresh sausages links; any
          - favourite kind
          Salt & pepper

 COOK THE GRAINS: Prepare the grains according to package
 instructions, letting them cook while you prepare the
 rest of the recipe.

 The grains can be cooked several days in advance. Reheat
 before serving.

 PREHEAT YOUR GRILL: Prepare one side of the grill for
 direct grilling and one side for indirect heat. The grill
 is ready when you can hover your hand 3" to 4" above
 the hot side of the grill for only a couple of seconds
 before feeling discomfort.

 PREPARE THE VEGETABLES FOR GRILLING: Cut smaller
 mushrooms into halves and larger mushrooms into thick,
 3/4" slices. Skewer the mushrooms through the stem,
 from bottom to top, so they will lay flat on the grill.

 Cut the heads of romaine into quarters through the root.
 The wedges should remain attached at the root; it's ok if
 a few outer leaves fall off (save those for sandwiches!).

 In a small bowl, mix two and a half tablespoons olive oil
 with a heavy pinch of salt and black pepper. Brush the
 oil evenly over all of the mushrooms, the green onions,
 and the romaine, and set aside.

 GRILL THE SAUSAGES & MUSHROOMS: Brush grates with a bit
 of extra oil and place the sausages and mushrooms on the
 cooler side of the grill.

 Close the lid and cook for 5 minutes, then flip the
 sausages and mushrooms. Close the lid and cook for
 another 3 to 5 minutes, or until sausages are almost
 entirely cooked through. (If your sausages are
 pre-cooked, they just need to be warmed through.)

 Move the sausages and mushrooms to the hot side of the
 grill and cook on each side for 1 to 2 minutes until they
 show grill marks and are caramelized.

 Transfer the sausages and mushrooms to a platter to rest
 while you grill the rest of the vegetables.

 Grill the green onions and romaine: Place the green
 onions and romaine halves on the hot side of the grill,
 and grill for about one minute on each side.

 Transfer to a serving platter.

 TO SERVE: Slice each sausage into three large pieces.
 Fill each bowl with 1/2 to 1 cup of cooked grains and top
 with a few pieces of sausage, some green onions, some
 mushrooms, and a wedge of romaine. Drizzle with
 chimichurri and top with fresh herbs.

 NOTES: Used Quick-cooking barley for the grain - which
 went well with the garlic sausages I had on hand. An
 accessory made for grilling fish filets made grilling
 the scallions much easier than using the open grill.
 For the sauce I cut some Koon Chun Hoisin I had in the
 larder with Kikkoman Soy to kill some of the sweetness.

 Yield: 4 servings
