Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds beef short ribs
• 4 links pork sausages
• 6 pieces chicken drumsticks
• 2 large sliced bell peppers
• 2 medium zucchini
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 sprigs fresh rosemary sprigs
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
• 1 teaspoon crushed black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your charcoal grill to medium-high heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, crushed black pepper, paprika, red wine vinegar, and lemon juice to create a marinade.

Step 3

Coat the beef ribs, pork sausages, and chicken drumsticks evenly with the marinade, placing them in a large shallow dish. Let them marinate at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.

Step 4

Arrange the meats on the preheated grill. Begin by placing the beef ribs on the hottest part of the grill, turning frequently to achieve an even cook and charring on both sides. Cook for approximately 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium rare.

Step 5

Place the pork sausages on a slightly cooler part of the grill, turning them every few minutes to prevent burning, until cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.

Step 6

Grill the chicken drumsticks over indirect heat, turning occasionally for 30 minutes or until juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Step 7

While the meats are grilling, slice bell peppers and zucchini into thick strips. Toss them in a tablespoon of olive oil, season with a little paprika, and grill for about 10 minutes or until tender and lightly charred.

Step 8

Once all meats and vegetables are cooked, remove them from the grill and allow the meats to rest for about 5 minutes.

Step 9

Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the grilled meats and vegetables.

Step 10

Arrange everything on a platter, garnish with fresh rosemary and thyme sprigs, and serve warm.
