Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and cook the sausages
- Pat the sausages dry with a paper towel; prick in a few places with a fork if desired.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to rest for 5 minutes, then cut on the diagonal into ¼-inch-thick slices. Spoon off all but 2 teaspoons fat from the pan.
While the sausages are cooking, prepare the roasted red pepper salad.
2
Make the salad; prep the cornichons
- Peel and thinly slice enough onion to measure ⅓ cup [½ cup].
- Cut the tomatoes in half.
- Coarsely chop the roasted red peppers.
- Trim the root end from the romaine; thinly slice the leaves.
- Cut the cornichons in half lengthwise; set aside for the sandwiches.
In a large bowl, stir together half the Italian dressing base and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] oil; season to taste with salt (set aside the remaining dressing base for the sandwiches). Add the onion, tomatoes, roasted red peppers, and romaine and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
3
Toast the ciabatta; assemble the sandwiches
- Cut the ciabatta in half horizontally.
In the same pan used for the sausages, warm the residual oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Place the ciabatta, cut sides down, and cook until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes.
Transfer the ciabatta, cut sides up, to a work surface and spread with the remaining dressing base. Arrange the sausages on the ciabatta bottoms and top with as much roasted red pepper salad and cornichons as you like. Close with the ciabatta tops.
Serve
Transfer the sandwiches to individual plates and serve any remaining salad and cornichons on the side.
