These delicious grilled sausage sandwiches are my attempt to duplicate the ones I ate when I was growing up and attended Italian street festivals in the North End of Boston. They come together really quickly, and make a great summer lunch. Choose hot or mild sausages as you prefer.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 (4 ounce) links hot Italian sausage
1 red bell pepper, halved and seeded
1 small onion, peeled and cut in half crosswise
2 teaspoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 (6 inch) sandwich rolls, split and toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. Lightly oil grate, and set 4 inches from the heat.
  • Pierce the sausages in a few places with a fork, and set aside. Slice off the bottoms of the onion halves so they will sit flat on the grill. Brush the bell pepper and onion halves with 2 teaspoons of olive oil.
  • Place the sausages, onions, and peppers on the preheated grill. Cook and turn the sausages until well browned and juices run clear. Cook vegetables until tender and peppers are slightly charred. Remove vegetables and sausages from the grill.
  • Place the peppers in a paper bag, close, and cool slightly. Remove and discard the charred skin from the peppers; slice peppers into strips. Slice the onion halves. Place salt and pepper to taste, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a bowl. Add the peppers and onions, and toss until evenly coated. To serve, place sausages in sandwich rolls, and top with the pepper and onion mixture.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality Italian sausage: Look for fresh, plump sausages with a good meat-to-fat ratio. Avoid sausages that are overly processed or have a lot of fillers.
  • Cook the sausage over medium heat: This will help to prevent the sausage from drying out. Cook the sausage for 10-12 minutes, or until it is cooked through.
  • Use a good quality bun: A sturdy bun will hold up well to the fillings and won't get soggy. Look for a bun that is slightly toasted and has a good crust.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Classic toppings for grilled Italian sausage sandwiches include peppers, onions, and mushrooms. You can also add cheese, lettuce, tomato, or any other toppings you like.
  • Serve the sandwiches hot: Grilled Italian sausage sandwiches are best served hot off the grill. Enjoy them with a cold beer or soda.

Conclusion:

Grilled Italian sausage sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a sandwich that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give grilled Italian sausage sandwiches a try. You won't be disappointed!
