This vibrant Italian sausage with grilled tenderstem broccoli and kale is a wonderful example of how simple, fresh ingredients can create a sophisticated, heart-healthy meal. By charring the vegetables on the grill, you unlock a deep, smoky sweetness that pairs perfectly with the savoury notes of the sausages and the sharp, salty punch of the caper and lemon dressing. The addition of toasted almonds provides a satisfying crunch, making every bite a delightful contrast of textures.

Using Tuscan kale and slender broccoli stems ensures the vegetables cook quickly while maintaining a pleasant bite. Serve it on a large sharing platter for a relaxed, Mediterranean-style dining experience that feels both indulgent and nourishing. The shaved Pecorino adds a final touch of mild, creamy saltiness that ties the whole dish together beautifully.

Ingredients for Italian Sausage with Grilled Broccolini, Kale, and Lemon

  • 80ml olive oil, divided, plus more for grill

  • 3 tablespoons crushed unsalted, roasted almonds

  • 2 matskedar färsk citronsaft

  • 1 tablespoon drained capers

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • Koshersalt, nymalen peppar

  • 2 bunches broccolini (about 675g)

  • 1 bunch small Tuscan kale, tough stems removed

  • 675g coiled Italian sausage, preferably skewered, or links

  • 1 lemon, thinly sliced into rounds, seeds removed

  • 60g mild Pecorino, shaved

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 tablespoons oil in a small bowl; season dressing with salt and pepper.

Combine broccolini and kale in a large bowl and drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon 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.
