Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups (473 ml) radish leaves
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 0.5 cups (118 ml) Castello Hirten Cheese
  • 0.5 cups (118 ml) roasted hazelnuts
  • 3 tbsp fresh oregano
  • 4-5 stems fresh thyme
  • 1 lemon juice
  • 1 cups (237 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 4-5 beer brat sausages
  • 4 large red potatoes
  • 2 bunches radishes
  • 1 yellow squash
  • 8 large green onion bulbs

Instructions

  1. In a food processor, pulse the radish leaves, garlic, Castello Hirten Cheese, hazelnuts, oregano, thyme, and lemon juice until finely ground.
  2. With the food processor running, slowly add the olive oil in a constant stream through the top feeding tube.
  3. In a large bowl, add the potatoes, reserved radish leaves, radishes, yellow squash, onions and toss in 1 cup of homemade pesto.
  4. Place the contents of the bowl in a deep cast iron skillet or baking dish. Arrange the sausages on top of the vegetables.
  5. Top the cast iron pan or baking dish with parchment paper and bake for 45 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
  6. After 45 minutes, remove the parchment paper and bake for an additional 15 minutes to brown.

Notes

  • For a richer pesto, use toasted hazelnuts instead of raw.
  • To prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pan, lightly coat the bottom of the skillet with olive oil before adding the vegetables.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet or microwave.
