Huey's Italian Sausage Dog

Step 1

Preheat the grill.

Step 2

Blanch the sausages in simmering water until just firm to the touch; drain well.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil from the capsicums in a large pan and gently sauté the garlic and onion until they have softened but not browned.

Step 4

Add the olives, the capsicums, the tomato cooking sauce and the seasonings. Mix well and cook until thickish. Then stir in 8 torn basil leaves.

Step 5

While the sauce is cooking, pan fry the sausages in a thin layer of oil in another pan until they are golden brown.

Step 6

Then cut the two baguettes into three pieces about the length of the sausages; make cuts in the centre (but NOT right through) and insert a sausage topped with the sauce inside each piece of the baguette.

Step 7

Place on the sausage-filled baguettes on a baking tray, top with cheeses and grill until golden and bubbling.

Step 8

Serve with a garnish of basil.
