GRILLED ITALIAN SAUSAGE WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Combine bell peppers and onions in a large bowl. Add olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Using a toothpick, poke 4 holes into each sausage to prevent them from exploding on the grill.
• Place vegetables in a grill basket and cook for 2 minutes. Add sausage directly to the grate and grill for 4 minutes. Flip sausage over, stir vegetables, and grill for 4 minutes more.

GRILLED SAUSAGES, ONIONS AND PEPPERS

Steps:

• Build a fire in your grill, leaving one side free of coals. When coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 5 to 7 seconds), you are ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium.)
• Meanwhile, toss peppers and onions with oil and sprinkle with salt. Lightly prick sausages all over so that they do not burst.
• Put peppers and onions in a grill basket or directly on the grill, turning occasionally until they are softened and dark at the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Move them to the side of the grill without coals.
• Place the sausages on the hot side of the grill, cover and cook, turning occasionally until they are cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Transfer the peppers and onions to a platter and top with the sausages. Drizzle with olive oil and serve.

GRILLED ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND BELL PEPPER FOLDS

• Meanwhile, in medium bowl, combine bell peppers, onion, oil, Italian seasoning and salt; toss to mix. Place in grill basket (grill "wok").
• After sausages have cooked for 10 minutes, add grill basket to grill. Cook an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until sausages are no longer pink in center and vegetables are crisp-tender, turning sausages and shaking basket occasionally to mix vegetables.
• To warm pita folds, microwave 2 pita folds on High about 30 seconds; repeat with remaining pita folds. Top pita folds with sausages and bell pepper mixture. Top each with cheese; fold over.
