Ingredients

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon coarse salt

Freshly ground pepper, to taste

4 firm, ripe pears, cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices

8 precooked chicken-and-apple sausage links, pricked with a fork

Fresh thyme, chutney, and assorted mustards, for serving

Preparation

Preheat grill to medium-high. (If you are using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 to 4 seconds.)

Whisk lemon juice with mustard. Add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until emulsified. Whisk in salt and pepper. Toss pears with 2 tablespoons dressing.

Grill sausages, turning frequently, until heated through, 10 to 12 minutes total. At the same time, grill pears until softened and lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Top sausages and pears with thyme, and serve with chutney, mustards, and remaining dressing.
