Roasted Grapes and Sausage for Transfiguration
Today is the Feast of the Transfiguration. This feast commemorates the transfiguration or metamorphosis of Christ on Mount Thabor. He appears before the Apostles Peter, James, and John as if he was glowing white.
Traditionally, the end of summer means harvesting fruits, such as grapes. The feast of the Transfiguration includes the blessing of the grapes.
This is a classic Italian dish. Usually served during the grape harvest. I know it sounds like a very odd flavor combination but it works very well. The grapes release their juices and makes a very complex sauce. I never thought of roasting grapes but it works very well here. You could make or purchase some bread such as Parker Rolls to sop up all the lovely juices. You could serve them with mashed potatoes, but here I chose to channel my southern upbringing and use grits.
