Method

  1. Prick the sausages using a fork.

  2. In a large skillet, place the chicken sausages and pour 1 inch of water.

  3. Add 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil to the skillet, which is about one turn of the pan.

  4. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat slightly.

  5. Allow all the liquid to cook away until the sausages brown and the casings become crisp, which should take around 5 to 6 minutes.

  6. Deglaze the pan by adding stock or wine, and cook it off for 1 minute.

  7. Remove the sausages from the skillet and transfer them to a platter.

  8. While the sausages are cooking, slice the peppers and onions, and prepare the garlic.

  9. Once the chicken sausages are removed from the pan, add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, which is about two turns of the pan.

  10. Add the sliced veggies and garlic to the pan, and season them with salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes.

  11. In a food processor, combine the giardiniera, parsley, basil, and lemon zest, and grind them into a relish.

  12. Slice the sausages at an angle.

  13. Take each roll and fill it with a small amount of the relish, followed by the peppers and onions, and then the sliced sausages
