These Grilled Sausage Sandwiches are a hearty, comforting meal that combines the savory richness of Italian sausage with a vibrant, homemade tomato relish. The sausages are butterflied and grilled until crisp and golden, ensuring maximum surface area for char and flavor. The accompanying sauce, made with stewed tomatoes, red peppers, garlic, and fresh parsley, simmers down to a thick, aromatic consistency that clings beautifully to the meat. Served on crusty Italian rolls with crisp lettuce and a sprinkle of Parmesan, this dish offers a perfect balance of textures and robust Mediterranean flavors. It’s an ideal choice for a casual weeknight dinner, a backyard barbecue, or a satisfying lunch that feels both indulgent and home-cooked.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and minced garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until softened.
  3. Add coarsely chopped red pepper and a pinch of hot pepper flakes; cook for 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in one 19-oz can of stewed tomatoes, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, salt, and pepper; bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened.
  6. Meanwhile, cut 4 Italian sausages (1 lb) lengthwise almost all the way through to butterfly them.
  7. Open the sausages and place them cut-side down on a greased grill over medium-high heat.
  8. Grill sausages for about 5 minutes per side, or until crisp on the outside and no longer pink inside.
  9. Slice 4 crusty Italian rolls in half horizontally and toast them cut-side down on the grill for 2 to 3 minutes, or until just golden.
  10. Top each bottom roll half with a lettuce leaf and a grilled sausage.
  11. Spoon the hot tomato relish generously over the sausage.
  12. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and cover with the top half of the roll.
