Steps:
- Soak eight 8-inch skewers in water, at least 15 minutes. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high. Prepare the couscous as the label directs.
- Meanwhile, toss the bell peppers, sausage, onion and tomatoes in a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Thread onto the skewers, alternating the sausage and vegetables. Grill, turning, until the vegetables are slightly softened and the sausage begins to brown, 6 to 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, puree the parsley, cilantro and scallions in a blender with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the vinegar and 2 tablespoons water. Season with salt and pepper. Brush the skewers with some of the pesto and continue to cook, turning, until the tomatoes are tender and the sausage is charred, 6 to 7 more minutes.
- Toss the couscous with half of the remaining pesto and season with salt and pepper. Serve with the skewers and the remaining pesto, for dipping.

GRILLED SAUSAGE AND PEPPER HEROES
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.

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.

Steps:
- Heat approximately 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan.
- Brown the sausage in the oil until you get a nice color on the outside and you no longer see any"pink".
- Remove the sausage and drain on a paper towel.
- Keep the heat going on the pan and add onions and peppers (do not add any additional oil).
- Cook the onions and peppers approximately 5 minutes or until onions start to become translucent.
- During this time, slice the sausage down the middle, do not cut all the way through, just enough so you can open the sausage and"fan" them out.
- Add salt and pepper over the onion/pepper mixture and turn heat down to simmer.
- Place sausage on top of onions and peppers and cover.
- Simmer for approximately 15 minutes or until sausage is cooked through.
- Serve on Italian Bread.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Sausages: Opt for high-quality sausages with a flavorful blend of spices. Consider using Italian, bratwurst, or chorizo for a delectable taste.
- Selecting Vibrant Bell Peppers: Choose bell peppers with bright, firm skin and rich color. A mix of colors, such as green, red, and yellow, adds visual appeal to the kebabs.
- Marinate for Maximum Flavor: Enhance the flavors by marinating the sausages and bell peppers in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, spices, and a touch of acidity from lemon juice or vinegar. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Skewering Technique: Alternate sausage slices and bell pepper chunks onto the skewers. Ensure the pieces are snugly fitted to prevent them from falling off during grilling.
- Grilling to Perfection: Grill the kebabs over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the sausages are cooked through and the bell peppers are tender yet slightly charred. Baste with the reserved marinade while grilling for added flavor.
- Serve with Accompaniments: Accompany the kebabs with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, roasted potatoes, or a refreshing salad. Serve with dipping sauces like tzatziki, chimichurri, or a classic tomato sauce.
