Festival-Style Grilled Italian Sausage Sandwiches

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. Lightly oil grate and set 4 inches from the heat.

Pierce the sausages in a few places with a fork and set aside. Slice off the bottoms of the onion halves so they will sit flat on the grill. Brush the bell pepper and onion halves with 2 teaspoons of olive oil.

Place the sausages onions and peppers on the preheated grill. Cook and turn the sausages until well browned and juices run clear. Cook vegetables until tender and peppers are slightly charred. Remove vegetables and sausages from the grill.

Place the peppers in a paper bag close and cool slightly. Remove and discard the charred skin from the peppers; slice peppers into strips. Slice the onion halves. Place salt and pepper to taste and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a bowl. Add the peppers and onions and toss until evenly coated. To serve place sausages in sandwich rolls and top with the pepper and onion mixture.
