Yes. Of course the kids balked at the very “sound” of onion relish. But our whole approach to food with our kids is the same motto that many of you probably share — Don’t knock it ’til you try it.

So they tried it. And you know what? They didn’t die. And they ate most of their dinner. And we totally cleaned our plates. That’s why I took a pretty picture and I’m sharing it here with you. Yep. It’s yet another simple recipe from e-Mealz. (We are on the Low Carb/WalMart plan.)

{ GRILLED SAUSAGE WITH ONION RELISH }

1 large onion, chopped

1/4 c. balsamic vinegar

2 Tbsp. light brown sugar

1/2 tsp. sage

1/4 c. water

1/2 c. sour cream

1.5 – 2.25 lbs. Italian sausage

…..

Preheat outdoor grill. In medium saucepan combine onions, vinegar, brown sugar, sage, and water. Bring to boil; reduce heat to med-low. Cook; stir 15-20 minutes or until most of liquid evaporates. Remove from heat; stir in sour cream. Grill sausage 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and browned. Remove to plate. Top sausage with onion relish.
