Ingredients:
- Tea Rubs: 2 tablespoons (a blend of black tea leaves, paprika, ground coriander, and a pinch of sugar)
- Pork sausages: 8-10 (skin-on or skinless, depending on preference)
- Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- Red onion: 1, thinly sliced
- Bell peppers: 2, cut into chunks
- Zucchini: 1, sliced
- Cherry tomatoes: 1 cup, halved
- Fresh parsley: for garnish
- Salt and black pepper: to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the Tea Rubs: In a small bowl, mix the black tea leaves, paprika, ground coriander, and sugar. Crush the tea leaves lightly with a mortar and pestle or use a spice grinder to create a fine blend.
- Marinate the Sausages: Rub the tea rubs all over the sausages, ensuring they are well coated. Let them marinate at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate.
- Prepare the Vegetables: While the sausages are marinating, slice the onion, bell peppers, and zucchini. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Grill the Sausages and Vegetables: Place the marinated sausages and vegetables on the grill. Cook the sausages until they are browned and cooked through, turning occasionally, about 10-12 minutes. Grill the vegetables until tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.
- Serve: Arrange the grilled sausages and vegetables on a platter. Drizzle with any remaining marinade and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- The tea rubs add a unique aroma and depth of flavor to the sausages, complementing the traditional flavors of barbecued meat.
- For a more robust flavor, consider adding a splash of your favorite barbecue sauce during the marinating process.
