Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your grill for indirect cooking. For a gas grill, set it to medium-high for about 15 minutes.
  2. In a food processor, combine 1 cup of Castelvetrano olives and 1 cup of giardiniera. Pulse until chunky and set aside.
  3. Place fresh Italian sausages on the cooler side of the grill, cooking for about 4-5 minutes until they reach 150°F.
  4. Move sausages to direct heat and grill for an additional 2-3 minutes on each side until charred and registering 160°F.
  5. Lightly spritz brioche rolls with water or olive oil, then toast on the grill for about 1 minute until golden brown.
  6. Assemble sandwiches by placing a sausage in each roll, topping with the relish and drizzling lemon basil aioli on top.
