Spidini are American sandwiches with an Italian twist, shaped like skewers in a bun. This recipe uses a simpler version: grilled Italian sausage. You can serve them whole on split and toasted buns, or pre-cut into pieces. A caprese relish of sliced cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, capers, and fresh basil in red wine vinegar perfectly complements the Italian sausage and adds a rich flavor to your sandwich. Before assembling the sandwich, rub the toasted sides of the buns with garlic.
