Steps to follow:
The first step in order to make sausage sizzle is to pre-heat your barbecue grill on medium. Roll your hand over the grill to check its temperature. Do not touch, or you will burn your hand.
Next, pierce the sausages all over using a fork. This is necessary, otherwise the sausage will be left uncooked from inside. Piercing allows the fat to escape, reducing the chance of bursting and ensuring even cooking.
Add the sausages to the grill, and let them cook. Ensure there is enough space between them for the heat to circulate properly. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy texture on the outside while keeping the inside juicy.
Turn after 10 minutes, and let it cook until it is completely done. The sausages should reach a safe internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for pork or 165°F (74°C) for poultry, according to food safety guidelines.
Meanwhile, heat some oil on the grill. Using a good quality oil with a high smoke point, such as canola or sunflower oil, will prevent the onions from burning.
Add the previously sliced onion, and do the seasoning with pepper and salt. You may also consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or a dash of balsamic vinegar for an extra layer of flavor.
Cook for 8-10 minutes, until the onions are browned and reduced to half. Make sure that you do not overdo them, otherwise they will taste bitter. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and avoid sticking.
Sprinkle vinegar on it, and then add sugar. Make sure to mix them properly. Keep it aside and let it cool. This caramelizes the onions, adding a sweet and tangy profile that complements the savory sausages.
Put one sausage on one roll base, and then top each of them with the mixture of sauce and onion. You can make designs of your choice with the sauce. Consider adding mustard or barbecue sauce for an extra kick.
Close the rolls, let them set and serve. For added texture, lightly toast the rolls on the grill before assembling.
