Method:

Preheat the Grill: Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat. If you're using a grill pan, heat it over medium-high as well. Brush the sausages lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Season the Sausages: Sprinkle a pinch of salt, pepper, and finely chopped rosemary (optional) on the sausages. If you prefer a more robust flavor, consider adding a bit of garlic or fennel seeds.

Grill the Sausages: Place the sausages on the grill, making sure they are evenly spaced. Grill for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure they cook evenly on all sides. The sausages should reach an internal temperature of about 160°F (71°C) when cooked through.

Rest the Sausages: Once grilled, remove the sausages from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute and ensures a juicy bite!

Serve: Serve the grilled sausages with a side of grilled vegetables, fresh bread, or a simple salad.

Variations:

For a lighter version: Use chicken sausages instead of pork.

Spicy Kick: Add a few dashes of red chili flakes to the seasoning mix for some heat.

Grilled Vegetables: Grill some bell peppers, zucchini, or onions alongside the sausages for a complete meal.

Tips:

Check for doneness: To be sure the sausages are fully cooked, use a meat thermometer to confirm that the internal temperature is at least 160°F.

Avoid overcooking: Don't overcook the sausages as they can dry out. Keep an eye on them while grilling.

Substitutions:

For a gluten-free option: Ensure the sausages are gluten-free, as some Italian sausages contain breadcrumbs.

Vegetarian alternative: Try plant-based sausages made from soy or lentils.
