Directions
Heat a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the sausages in the boiling water for about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towels and set aside. Meanwhile, heat grill.
While grill is heating or coals are getting white, heat a large sauté pan over medium-high. Swirl in the olive oil. When hot, add the onions, peppers and a pinch of salt. Stir well/toss to combine and turn down heat to med-low. Cook, stirring/tossing occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes; continue cooking an additional 3 minutes. Some browning is okay. Remove from pan and wrap in heavy duty foil to keep warm on indirect heat on grill.
Oil grill grate. Grill par-cooked sausages, turning occasionally, until well browned, crispy and cooked through.
Split the rolls down the middle and toast briefly on grill.
Nestle a sausage into each roll; top each with the warm pepper mixture and serve.
