Description

Source: THE BIG BOOK OF BACKYARD COOKING - BETTY ROSBOTTOM

The robust taste of kielbasa cooked over a hot grill is complemented by a simple mustard sauce flavored with apricot preserves and rosemary. Served on toasted buns, the sausages would be especially good with Creamy Caraway Coleslaw

Ingredients

• Vegetable oil for oiling grill rack
• 1   1-pound regular or light cooked kielbasa sausage
• 8   good-quality hot dogs buns or long rolls, lightly toasted
• 2   recipes Hot Apricot Mustard
• 1   cup finely chopped yellow onion (optional)

Directions

1. Oil a grill rack and arrange 4 to 5 inches from heat source.
2. Prepare grill for a hot fire (high temperature).
3. While grill is heating, cut the kielbasa into 4 equal links.
4. Cut each link in half lengthwise, so that you have 8 pieces.
5. Grill kielbasa until hot and lightly browned, about 5 to 6 minutes per side. (Internal temperature should be 165 degrees F.)
6. Place each kielbasa link in a toasted bun.
7. Brush the links generously with some Hot Apricot Mustard, and garnish, if desired, with some chopped onion.
8. You may have some mustard left over; save for another use.
