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.

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.

GRILLED SUMMER SAUSAGE SALAD



Grilled Summer Sausage Salad image

I love grilling vegetables, especially those straight from the garden. The summer sausage is a fun twist, and the veggies really get to shine in this main dish salad. Fresh garden herbs also taste great mixed into this salad. To amp up the flavor even more, try grilling romaine lettuce instead of using a salad mix. -Noelle Myers, Grand Forks, North Dakota

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality sausages: Look for sausages made with fresh, high-quality meat and spices. Avoid sausages that are heavily processed or contain a lot of fillers.
  • Preheat your grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the sausages. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the sausages and prevent them from sticking to the grill.
  • Grill the sausages in a single layer: Do not overcrowd the grill, or the sausages will not cook evenly. Cook the sausages in a single layer so that they have plenty of room to brown.
  • Turn the sausages regularly: Turn the sausages regularly with tongs so that they cook evenly on all sides.
  • Use a meat thermometer: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the sausages. The sausages are done cooking when they reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the sausages rest: Let the sausages rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the sausages, making them more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Grilled sausages with summer vegetables is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer cookout. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your grilled sausages are cooked perfectly and that your summer vegetables are tender and flavorful. So fire up your grill and enjoy this delicious summer meal!
