Ingredients

1 pound ground pork
1 large onion, finely chopped
½ cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vinegar
½ pound caul fat
10 skewers

Steps:

In a medium bowl, mix together the ground pork, onion, parsley, salt and pepper.
Fill a bowl with warm water, and add the vinegar. Dip the caul fat into the water, and keep submerged for 1 minute to wash. Rinse in cold water. Carefully open up the caul fat on a clean work surface, and cut into 4 inch (10 cm) squares.
Place a small compressed handful of the sausage near the edge of one square. Fold the sides over, and roll up firmly. Repeat with remaining meat and fat until you have about 10 sausages.
Prepare a charcoal grill for high heat. Place sausages onto skewers.
Grill the sausages for 20 minutes, turning frequently until the outside is crispy and dark, and the inside is no longer pink.

SPETSOFAI

Spetsofai image

Greek dish of sausages, eggplants and peppers. The 50 minutes cooking time is not really all "passive" time, because part of the time the sauce is simmering you are sauteing the meat and vegetables.

GREEK SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS

Greek Sausage and Peppers image

This Greek sausage and peppers recipe is an old family favorite. My grandmother, mother and I make this every year for Christmas Eve. Just toss all the ingredients in your slow cooker and let the meal cook all day on low. It makes the house smell amazing and is wonderful comfort food for a chilly holiday. You can double the recipe and freeze the other portion for a hot meal in a pinch. -Debbie Vair, Wake Forest, North Carolina
