Samba Sausages / Choricou image

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 chorizo sausages, homemade (see recipe) or store-bought, or other cooked sausages (each 1 inch thick and 4 to 5 inches long)
1/2 onion, small, minced very fine
1/2 red bell pepper, or green, stemmed, seeded and minced very fine
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

1. Preheat the grill to medium-high.2. Push a skewer lengthwise through each sausage. Make a series of diagonal parallel slits, 1/4 inch deep and 1/2 inch apart in one side of each sausage. Turn the sausage over and make a similar set of slits going the opposite direction.3. Combine the onion, pepper, and garlic in a small bowl, then stuff some of the mixture into the slits in the sausages.4. When ready to cook, oil the grill grate. Arrange the sausages on the hot grate and grill, turning with tongs, until lightly browned on all sides and heated through, turning as necessary, 5 to 8 minutes in all. As the sausages cook, drizzle oil over the slits. 5. Serve the sausages right on the skewers and eat them like Popsicles, with any remaining onion mixture.Serves 4
