How to Make Huey's Italian Sausage Dog

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Blanch sausages in simmering water for 5-7 minutes, or until just firm. Drain well.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté garlic and onion until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add olives, capsicum, crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until sauce has thickened slightly. Stir in fresh basil leaves.
While sauce simmers, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in another pan. Pan-fry sausages until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
Slice each baguette into three equal pieces. Make a lengthwise cut in the center of each piece, but don't cut all the way through.
Insert a sausage into each baguette piece, topping generously with the sauce.
Place sausage-filled baguettes on a baking tray. Top with mozzarella cheese.
Grill for 3-5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden brown and bubbling.
Garnish with extra fresh basil and serve immediately.
