A delicious and hearty Italian-inspired sausage sub recipe, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Preheating ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
Blanch the sausages in simmering water until firm, then drain.
Blanching helps to partially cook the sausages and retain their juices.
Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté the garlic and onion until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.
Add the capsicum, olives, tomato sauce, salt, and pepper to the pan. Cook until the sauce thickens.
Simmer gently to allow the flavors to meld together.
Stir in the basil leaves and remove the sauce from heat.
Adding basil at the end preserves its fresh flavor.
Pan-fry the sausages in a thin layer of oil until golden brown.
Turn the sausages frequently for even browning.
Cut the baguettes into pieces and make a slit in each. Place a sausage and some sauce inside.
Ensure the slit is deep enough to hold the filling without cutting through.
Top each sub with mozzarella and parmesan cheese, then grill until bubbly and golden.
Keep an eye on the grill to prevent burning.
Serve the subs warm, garnished with extra basil if desired.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
