Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 multi-colored bell peppers
1 medium red onion
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat a grill to medium-high heat (375 to 450 degrees). If using the grill basket, place it on the grill while preheating. Or, fold a large piece of aluminum foil in half and prick several holes in it with a fork, then fold up a 1-inch rim around the edge to make a makeshift tray.
  • Cut the peppers into 1 1/2-inch wide strips. Cut the onion into wide strips and separate the layers with your fingers. Place them in a bowl and mix with the olive oil and kosher salt.
  • Grill in the grill basket or on the foil tray for 15 to 20 minutes until tender, turning the vegetables a few times to ensure even cooking.

GRILLED SAUSAGES, PEPPERS AND ONIONS



Grilled Sausages, Peppers and Onions image

The well-loved trifecta of sausages, peppers and onions can be found at Italian street fairs, ballparks and on weeknight dinner tables. They're often roasted or braised, but this recipe makes smart use of a grill: Sausages cook over indirect heat to prevent bursting, while peppers and onions soften and char over the flames. At the end, while the sausages and rolls spend a few minutes over direct heat to brown and crisp, the cooked vegetables rest in a tart vinaigrette to balance the sweetness of the peppers. Tuck the sausages and vegetables into the roll, then add mustard, giardiniera, mozzarella or nothing at all.

Categories     sandwiches, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 sweet or hot Italian pork sausages (about 1 pound)
1 pound bell peppers (any color), seeds and stem removed, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rings
2 large yellow or red onions, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rings (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
Olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 hero, hoagie or sub rolls, about 6 inches long, halved lengthwise but still connected
1/4 cup red wine, Sherry or apple cider vinegar
Pinch of dried oregano (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for two-zone cooking over medium-high heat. (For a charcoal grill, pour the coals on one side. For a gas grill, heat all burners covered on high, then reduce one burner to medium-high and turn off the other. If your grill has three burners, reduce the outer two to medium-high and turn off the middle.)
  • Meanwhile, remove sausages from the package to come to room temperature and to air-dry. In a large bowl or baking dish, toss the peppers and onions with olive oil, salt and pepper to coat. Lightly brush the interior of the rolls with olive oil.
  • Clean and oil the grates. (Dip the trimmed end of the onion in oil and use it to grease the grates). Place the peppers and onions over the flame (direct heat) and place the sausages where there is no flame beneath (indirect heat). Cover and cook, flipping occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and charred in spots and cooked through, 14 to 20 minutes. (To keep all of the juices in, insert the thermometer into the ends of the sausages as opposed to pricking the sausage casing.)
  • To the now-empty bowl or baking dish, add the vinegar, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and oregano, if using. Season with salt and pepper. As the vegetables finish cooking, add them to the bowl and toss to combine. Move the sausages to direct heat and cook, turning often, until charred and crisp, 2 to 4 minutes. (Cover if using a gas grill.) Transfer to the bowl of vegetables to rest for a few minutes. Grill the cut sides of the buns over direct heat until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Divide the peppers, onions and sausages between rolls.

Tips:

  • Choose the right peppers and onions: For grilling, select bell peppers that are firm, brightly colored, and have smooth skin. For onions, choose sweet onions or yellow onions, as they caramelize well on the grill.
  • Cut the vegetables evenly: Cut the peppers and onions into uniform pieces so that they cook evenly. For bell peppers, cut them into 1-inch squares or strips. For onions, cut them into 1-inch thick slices or wedges.
  • Marinate the vegetables: Marinating the vegetables in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices enhances their flavor and prevents them from drying out on the grill. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder, or experiment with different herbs and spices to create a unique flavor profile.
  • Grill the vegetables over medium heat: Medium heat is ideal for grilling peppers and onions, as it allows them to cook through without burning. Preheat your grill to medium heat and cook the vegetables for 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
  • Toss the vegetables frequently: To ensure even cooking, toss the vegetables frequently with tongs while they are grilling. This will also help to prevent them from sticking to the grill grates.
  • Serve the vegetables immediately: Grilled peppers and onions are best served immediately, while they are still hot and flavorful. You can serve them as a side dish, appetizer, or even as a main course.

Conclusion:

Grilling mixed peppers and onions is a simple and delicious way to enjoy these healthy and flavorful vegetables. With just a few simple steps, you can create a delicious side dish or appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy grilling recipe, give grilled mixed peppers and onions a try. You won't be disappointed!
