We went on the hunt for special recipes to celebrate St. Patrick’s day, and we found something delicious! Now, is this a traditional Irish meal? No. But it is made with Guinness.
Speaking of Guinness, you will be poaching the raw sausages in Guinness first, then giving them a final cook on the grill. The poaching liquid gives the sausages a depth of flavor and juiciness that grilling alone won’t, but throwing them on the grill at the end gives them that alluring color and crunch we’re looking for in a sausage.
You could serve this delicious sandwich with a side of colcannon or braised cabbage. The sausages and toppings would be just as scrumptious served as an open faced sandwich or (dare we say it??) over pasta. We enjoyed this wonderful sandwich just as it is written here but you could mix it up and serve it with dill relish, swiss cheese, or a luscious gooey cheese sauce.
