A delightful twist on a classic sausage sandwich, featuring a tangy apple-onion relish and a flavorful mustard glaze.
Slice the red onion into thin rings and core and slice the green apple thinly.
Use a sharp knife for even slices, enhancing the texture of the relish.
In a mixing bowl, toss the onion and apple slices with the extra virgin olive oil.
Ensure the slices are evenly coated for consistent grilling.
Fold a large sheet of aluminum foil in half and place the onion-apple mixture in the center. Seal the edges to form a packet.
Double-fold the edges to prevent any juices from leaking out.
Preheat the grill to medium heat and place the foil packet on the grill. Cook for 10 minutes.
Turn the packet halfway through cooking for even heat distribution.
Mix the whole grain mustard and dried oregano in a small bowl to create the glaze.
Adjust the mustard-oregano ratio to suit your taste preferences.
Prick the Italian sausages with a fork and place them on the grill. Brush with the mustard glaze.
Pricking the sausages prevents them from bursting during grilling.
Grill the sausages for 16-18 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with more glaze.
Ensure the sausages are cooked through by checking their internal temperature.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a sausage in each bun and topping with the grilled onion-apple relish.
Warm the buns on the grill for a minute for added texture and flavor.
