For the Sandwich

  • 1 cup Giardiniera Adds tangy crunch; opt for homemade or store-bought.
  • 2 tablespoons Capers Offers a briny punch.
For the Basil Aioli
  • 1 cup Mayonnaise Choose a dairy-free version if needed.
  • 1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves Adds a burst of freshness.
  • 1 juice Lemon Brightens up the flavor.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Enhances overall flavor; can be omitted.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the grill for indirect cooking, one side high and the other low, to around 400°F.
  2. In a food processor, combine the Castelvetrano olives, giardiniera, and capers. Pulse until roughly chopped.
  3. Place the Italian sausage links on the grill over the indirect heat side. Grill for about 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
  4. Move sausages to direct heat and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until charred and internal temperature reaches 160°F.
  5. Place brioche rolls cut-side down on direct heat for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Assemble the sandwiches by placing a sausage in each roll, topping with giardiniera relish, and drizzling with basil aioli.
