Grilled Sausages and Peppers with Grilled Corn with Fresh Herb Oil, and Grilled Peach Crisp

Happy Memorial Day, and a HUGE Thank You to all those brave service men and women who paid the price with their ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Here is a complete cookout feast - all done in foil so clean up is a breeze. Just ball 'em up and toss 'em in the trash!!
(all courses serve 4)

Grilled Sausages and Peppers:
8 hot or sweet Italian sausages (chicken* or pork*)
2 sweet bell peppers, any color, sliced
2 sweet* onions, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
EVOO, for drizzling

Grilled Corn with Fresh Herb Oil:
4 ears corn on the cob, shucked (I like white or bi-colored for its sweetness*)
1/3 cup EVOO
1 clove garlic, grated
1/8*-1/4 t. red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf* parsley
2 scallions, chopped
Grated zest and juice of  1/2 lemon
Kosher salt

Grilled Peach Crisp:
4 T. unsalted Kerrygold* butter, at room temp.
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granola
4 peaches, halved and pitted
Vanilla Bean* ice cream, for serving

For the Grilled Sausages and Peppers: preheat a grill to med. high. Lay out 4 large sheets of Heavy Duty aluminum foil on a flat surface. Cut the sausages in half lengthwise; place 4 halves cut-side down in the center of each piece of foil. Divide the bell pepper strips and onion among the 4 sheets; drizzle with olive oil. Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal; fold in the sides to seal, leaving room for steam. Place packets on the grill and cook 15 mins. Remove and let rest a few mins.; open carefully.

For the Grilled Corn: Lay out 4 sheets of heavy duty foil. Place an ear of corn in the middle of each sheet of foil, and wrap tightly. Grill, turning a few times, 15 mins. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil with garlic and red pepper flakes in a small saucepan over med. heat, about 1 min. Remove from the heat and add parsley, scallions, lemon zest, and lemon juice; season with salt. Remove corn from the grill and open carefully. Brush with herb oil.

For the Grilled Peaches: Combine the butter, brown sugar, flour, and granola in a bowl; mix until combined. Lay out 4 sheets of foil. Place 2 peach halves cut-side up; in the center of each sheet. Spoon the granola filling into the center of each peach half. Put the peach halves together, filling-side in. Bring the short ends of the foil together and fold twice to seal; fold in the sides to seal, leaving room for steam. Place the packets on the grill and cook for 10 mins., turning occasionally. Remove from the grill and let rest a few mins.; open carefully. Serve with ice cream.

Have a Fun and Safe holiday!!
