Grilled Italian Sausage, Pepper, and Onion Sub

The classic combination of fennel-scented Italian sausage under a blanket of soft peppers and onion is inexpensive and easy to make. The trick to making a great one is not to use fancy sausage, but rather the inexpensive ones from the grocery store, preferably made by a company with an Italian family name. A crusty sub roll with enough substance not to get soaked and fall apart is also important. Serve plain, with Italian dressing, or mustard.

Instructions

Place sausages under a broiler (or hot grill) for 10 minutes. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once oil begins to shimmer, add onions and peppers and cook, stirring, until softened and browned in spots, about 10 minutes. Mix in sugar and vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Cook over low heat for another 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and wipe out skillet with paper towels.
On medium-high heat, swirl 1 tbsp oil to cover bottom of the skillet. Place broiled sausages into skillet or onto a hot grill and cook until browned, approximately 5 minutes. Split rolls, lay a sausage in the middle and cover with peppers and onions. Serve hot.
