  • ½ cup Castelvetrano Olives May substitute any pitted olive if needed.
  • ½ cup Giardiniera Choose mild or hot based on your spice level.
  • ¼ cup Capers Can be omitted if you prefer a milder flavor.
For the Lemon Basil Aioli
  • ½ cup High-Quality Mayonnaise Substitute with dairy-free mayo if necessary.

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat the Grill: Start by setting your grill for indirect cooking with a high heat zone of about 500-700°F and a low heat zone.
  2. Prep the Aioli: Combine mayonnaise, fresh basil, garlic, lemon zest, and juice in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
  3. Make the Relish: Chop the Castelvetrano olives and giardiniera until roughly chopped in the food processor.
  4. Grill the Sausage: Place sausages on indirect heat for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway. Char over direct heat for 4-5 minutes.
  5. Toast the Buns: Spritz brioche rolls with cooking spray and toast on the grill for about 1 minute until golden and crispy.
  6. Assemble Sandwiches: Place grilled sausage in toasted rolls, top with giardiniera relish and drizzle with lemon basil aioli. Serve immediately.
