Ingredients:
  • 12 (12in) metal or bamboo skewers
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed with press

  • 2 large onions (8 to 10 ounces each)
  • 2 medium purple or green peppers
  • 3 medium red peppers (4 to 6 oz each)

1. If using bamboo skewers, soak skewers in cold water at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Prepare outdoor grill for covered direct grilling on medium.
2. In a small bowl, combine oil, garlic, oregano, 1/8 tsp salt & 1/8 tsp paper. Let stand while you cut onions, peppers and sausages into 1 in chunks.
3. Thread peppers, 2 at a time & alternating with onion & sausage, onto skewers. Brush skewers with oil mixture.
4. Place on hot grill grate; cover & cook 10 to 12 minutes or until browned, turning occasionally. Place on platter to serve.
*you can cut the vegetables and sausage & thread them on skewers the day before serving. Place on a large platter cover & refrigerate.
