Grilled Italian Sausage Panini

"This is a variation of Mysterygirl's panini recipe (Recipe #16432) that I came up with when I had a craving for Italian sausage. I must say that it turned out really great, but try it for yourself! Amounts are for one sandwich - just multiply as necessary."

directions

  • Put sausage in small pot and cover with water.
  • Bring to boil over high heat.
  • Once water boils, prick the sausage with a fork several times so that the grease comes out as it cooks.
  • Boil sausage for 5 minutes, or until it looks at least halfway cooked.
  • Remove sausage from water, and either rinse it under warm water (there might be some scum on it), or wipe it with a clean paper towel.
  • Preheat George Foreman grill.
  • Slice sausage in half, lengthwise.
  • Place sausage cut-side down on hot grill, and cook until done (about 5 minutes or so).
  • Place cheese in bun, then add sausage, and top with roasted red peppers and/or your own favourite additions such as hot banana peppers, marinara sauce, olives, tomatoes, fresh basil, etc, etc.
  • Close sandwich and grill in George Foreman until the bread is golden and crispy.

When I'm not nose-deep in a book for school, I love to spend time with friends and family, shop, travel, and surf on 'Zaar of course! I recently began taking ballroom dance lessons and even though I have two left feet most days, I still enjoy it!
