Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Italian Sausage with Roasted Pepperonata.
Step 1
Start by preheating your grill to a medium heat and giving the grate a light oiling to keep everything from sticking.
Step 2
Next, toss those vibrant red, yellow, and orange bell peppers onto the grill.
Step 3
Let them roast until they’re beautifully charred on all sides, which should take about 15 minutes.
Step 4
Remember to turn them occasionally to ensure even cooking and that delightful smoky flavor.
Step 5
Once the peppers are nicely blackened, transfer them to a large resealable plastic bag.
Step 6
Seal it up and let the peppers steam and cool for a few minutes—this will make peeling them a breeze.
Step 7
After they’ve cooled down, take the peppers out of the bag and gently strip away the charred skins, discarding them along with the stems and seeds.
Step 8
Dice the roasted peppers into bite-sized pieces, and set them aside.
Step 9
While the peppers are cooling, it’s time to grill the Italian sausages.
Step 10
Cook them until they’re perfectly browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes on each side.
Step 11
To ensure they’re safe to eat, use an instant-read meat thermometer to check that they’ve reached an internal temperature of at least 160°F (70°C).
Step 12
In a large skillet, warm up some olive oil over medium heat.
Step 13
Add in the diced onion and sauté until it’s tender and fragrant, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes.
Step 14
Now, stir in those colorful diced roasted peppers and heat everything through.
Step 15
Slice the grilled sausages diagonally into bite-sized pieces and add them to the skillet with the onion and pepper mixture.
Step 16
Turn up the heat to medium-high and pour in some red wine along with dried oregano.
Step 17
Bring this delicious medley to a boil, stirring frequently, and let it simmer until the wine has reduced by about one-third, which should take around 10 minutes.
Step 18
Finally, season your dish with salt and black pepper to taste, and get ready to enjoy a delightful blend of flavors that will surely impress your family and friends!.
