GRILLED ITALIAN SAUSAGE WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Italian sausage, bell peppers, and onions made easy on the grill. You can also serve the sausage in hot dog buns and finely chop the veggies once grilled as a "relish". I like to add a squirt of mustard when I serve them this way.

Time 35m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
1 small white onion, sliced into petals
1 small red onion, sliced into petals
1 tablespoon olive oil

5 (4 ounce) links hot Italian sausage links

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Combine bell peppers and onions in a large bowl. Add olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Using a toothpick, poke 4 holes into each sausage to prevent them from exploding on the grill.

GRILLED SAUSAGE AND PEPPER FOIL PACKETS

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage links (4 to 6 links)
2 red and/or green bell peppers, sliced (about 2 cups)
1 large onion, sliced (about 3 cups)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Serving suggestion: crusty bread or garlic bread

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat a grill over medium-high heat. Lay two 18-inch-long sheets of heavy duty aluminum foil on a flat surface.
  • 2. Cut a long slit in each sausage about two-thirds of the way through and flatten gently so it opens like a book. Divide the sausages between the 2 pieces of foil. Toss the peppers and onions with the oil, oregano, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and put on top of the sausages.
  • 3. Bringing the short sides of the foil together, fold the seams together twice and then tuck the ends in and up to seal. Put the foil packets on the grill and grill, 17 to 20 minutes. Open the foil, being careful of steam; the sausages will be charred and have grill marks on the bottom and the vegetables will be tender. If not, just throw the packets back on the grill, unsealed, for a few more minutes until done.
  • 4. Divide among 4 plates and serve with crusty bread or garlic bread.

GRILLED SAUSAGE AND PEPPER HEROES



Grilled Sausage and Pepper Heroes image

This hearty sandwich comes together quickly on a small portable grill, making it perfect for a tailgate or picnic. Make the balsamic vinaigrette at home and take it along in a small jar. You can purchase the Italian sausage ring (shaped like a spiral) at an Italian butcher. If you can't get the cheese and parsley flavor, use any flavor you like. If you'd like to make this on a full-size grill, you can cook everything at once and remove the ingredients as they finish cooking.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 red bell pepper, top and bottom removed, cut into 4 planks
1 yellow bell pepper, top and bottom removed, cut into 4 planks
1 large sweet onion, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rings
One 1 1/2-pound Italian pork sausage ring, preferably cheese and parsley flavor
Four 6-to-8-inch hoagie rolls, split
8 slices provolone (about 6 ounces)

Steps:

  • Combine the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a small jar or other lidded container. Shake to combine. Soak 2 long wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes (alternatively, use metal skewers).
  • Preheat a small grill to medium-high heat and brush with olive oil. Brush the peppers and onions with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the dressing. Stick the skewers through the sausage ring at a perpendicular angle to each other (in an X). Place the sausage ring in the middle of the grill and cook until the underside is charred, 5 to 6 minutes.
  • Flip the sausage ring with tongs and a spatula and arrange the peppers around the ring. Grill the sausage until browned and crispy in places and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board. Add the onion rings to the empty space on the grill. Cook the peppers and onions until crisp-tender and charred on the edges, about 4 minutes per side (the peppers will come off first, since you put them on first). Transfer the vegetables to a cutting board as they finish cooking.
  • Brush the cut sides of the rolls with olive oil and grill, cut-side down, until toasted, about 1 minute. Flip and lay 2 slices of cheese on the grilled cut sides of each roll and cook until the cheese just begins to melt, moving as needed so they don't burn, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove the skewers from the sausage, cut into serving pieces 4 to 5 inches long and divide evenly among the rolls. Cut the peppers into strips and separate the onions into rings. Pile on top of the sausage. Drizzle the heroes with the remaining dressing and serve immediately.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND BELL PEPPERS



Italian Sausage and Bell Peppers image

This is a quick and versatile recipe that is one of DH's favorites. I like it because it makes enough for two dinners and a lunch for the two of us. I like to serve it over polenta, but pasta or rice are great, too. It's happy in a slow cooker as well.
