GRILLED ITALIAN SAUSAGE WITH WARM PEPPER AND ONION SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas). (If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. When Charcoal turns grayish white (about 15 minutes from lighting), hold your hand 5 inches above grill rack to determine heat for charcoal as follows: Hot: When you can hold your hand there for 1 to 2 seconds; Medium-hot: 3 to 4 seconds; Low: 5 to 6 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then, if necessary, reduce to heat specified in recipe.)
• Toss peppers and onion with 1 tablespoon oil. Grill on lightly oiled grill sheet set directly on grill rack, with grill covered only if using a gas grill, turning occasionally, until slightly softened and charred, 9 to 15 minutes (onion will cook faster), transferring to a bowl as cooked.
• Add vinegar, oregano, salt, pepper, and remaining 2 tablespoons oil to peppers and onion, tossing to coat. Let stand 10 minutes to allow flavors to develop.
• While vegetables stand, run skewers crisscrossed horizontally through sausage coil, securing ends. Grill directly over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas) on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once, until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes total. (Thicker sausage may take longer.)
• Transfer vegetables to a platter and top with sausage.

Serve on buns with sauce and cheese if desired.

GRILLED SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Cut the sides off of the bell peppers and remove the stem and seeds. Cut the bell peppers into 1-inch wide strips.
• Quarter the onion by cutting through the root end, then cutting each quarter in half, lengthwise. Trim the root end from the onion wedges and break apart the pieces.
• In a large bowl, combine the peppers, onions, olive oil, salt and pepper. Mix well to combine.
• For the grill: Heat a grill over medium heat (about 375˚). Oil the grill grates well. Place the sausages on one side of the grill and a grill basket on the other. Add the onions and peppers to the grill basket in a single layer. Cover and cook until the sausages have grill marks on one side and the peppers and onions are slightly charred, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn the sausages and give the onions and peppers a stir. Cover and cook until the sausages internal temperature reaches 160˚ and the peppers and onions are charred in spots and softened, 5 to 7 minutes more.
• For the stovetop: Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Place the sausages in a single layer, evenly spaced. Cover and cook until golden brown on one side, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the sausages, cover and cook until the sausages internal temperature reaches 160˚, 5 to 7 minutes more. Remove from the heat and transfer to a plate. Return the skillet to medium-high heat and add the peppers and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until charred in spots and softened, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Serve immediately with toasted rolls, if desired.

GRILLED SAUSAGES, PEPPERS AND ONIONS

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.

Remove from the grill and chop into 1/2 inch pieces. Place the corn on the grill and cook for 1 minute. Rotate the corn and continue to grill (it should take about 3 minutes to cook on all sides). Remove from the grill and remove the kernels from the cob with a knife. Place the sausage on the grill and cook for about 4 minutes on each side. Sausages should cook in about 6-8 minutes. Place the julienne peppers, chopped onions, corn kernels, and chopped tomatoes in a bowl. Add basil, remaining olive oil and vinegar and toss. Season with salt and pepper. Divide salad into six plates and place two sausages on each plate. Serve with crusty Italian bread.
