Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Ingredients

1/2 pound hot Italian sausage, links
1/2 pound mild Italian sausage, links
12 (6-inch) flour tortillas
1 cup shredded fontina cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 red onion, sliced, grilled and chopped
1 yellow pepper, grilled, peeled and chopped
1 red pepper, grilled, peeled and chopped
4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
2 cups Sweet 100 tomatoes, sliced in half (sweet 100 tomatoes are very small, flavorful tomatoes)
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons basil chiffonade
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

Preheat grill to high. Grill the sausages until golden brown on all sides and cooked through, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove, let rest for 5 minutes and slice into 1/4-inch thick slices. Lay 8 of the tortillas on a work surface. Divide the cheeses, sausage, onion peppers, garlic and parsley among them. Stack to make 4 and top with the remaining 4 tortillas. Brush the tops with the olive oil and grill for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown. Brush with more oil, turn over and continue grilling until golden brown and the cheese melts. Remove the quesadilla, quarter and top with the relish.
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.

ONION ITALIAN SAUSAGE

Onion Italian Sausage image

When my five children were still all at home, this was one of their most-requested meals. I've long had this recipe among my standbys, and, like all cooks who improvise and experiment, I've changed it as our tastes have changed. Having my recipe judged "grand prize winner" is exciting...and I sure have to smile when I think what my children will say to me. More than once they've pointed out featured recipes in other magazines. "But, Mom," they tell me, "you've been making this for years!"

Tips:

Choose good quality Italian sausage: Look for sausage that is made with fresh, high-quality pork and spices. Avoid sausages that are overly processed or contain fillers.
Use a variety of onions: This recipe calls for a combination of yellow and red onions, but you can use any type of onion you like. Sweet onions, such as Vidalia or Walla Walla, will caramelize nicely and add a subtle sweetness to the dish.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the sausage and onions, make sure to give them plenty of space in the pan so that they can brown evenly. If you overcrowd the pan, the sausage and onions will steam instead of brown.
Cook the sausage and onions until they are well browned: This will give them a rich, flavorful taste. Don't be afraid to let them cook for a few minutes longer than you think you need to.
Use a good quality red wine: The red wine in this recipe adds a depth of flavor to the sauce. Use a wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
Let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
Serve the sausage and onions with your favorite pasta: This dish is delicious served with spaghetti, penne, or any other type of pasta that you like.
