Angela's Italian Recipe for Grilled Sausage with Pepper and Onion Salad

Grilled Sausage with Pepper and Onion Salad
(Salsiccia alla Griglia con Insalata di Peperoni e Cipolla)


Ingredients:

3 mixed large bell peppers, trimmed and quartered lengthwise 1 large red onion, quartered lengthwise and separated into layers 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 and 1/2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon black pepper 1 lb fresh Italian sausage

Directions:

Perforated grill sheet; 2 (10 to 12-inch long) wooden or metal skewers Directions: Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas). Toss peppers and onion with 1 tablespoon olive 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 olive 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. Makes 4 servings.
