Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links Pork Sausages
- 4 pieces Low Carb Hot Dog Buns
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 large Yellow Onion
- 1 medium Bell Pepper (any color)
- 2 minced Garlic Cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 4 tablespoons Dijon Mustard (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, brush the outside of each sausage with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to prevent them from sticking to the grill.
Place sausages on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are fully cooked and have grill marks on all sides.
While the sausages are grilling, open the low carb buns and place them slit side down on the grill for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking to lightly toast them.
Once the sausages are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a minute.
To assemble, place a grilled sausage in each bun. Top with the sautéed onion and pepper mixture, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve with dijon mustard on the side, if desired.
