Directions
-
In a non-reactive bowl, stir together beans, artichoke hearts, onion, basil, 3 tbsp (45 mL) olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve (can be made one day ahead).
-
In small bowl, mix the butter, 2 tbsp (30 mL) olive oil, garlic and basil. Brush mixture over cut-side of both pieces of bread. Sprinkle Parmesan and pepper onto one side. Place other half-loaf on top. Wrap tightly in foil.
-
Place garlic bread and sausages on barbecue preheated to medium. Grill sausages, turning often, until cooked through, about 10 min. Grill bread for 10 min., turning over after 5 min., until warmed through. Serve sausages and garlic bread with reserved bean salad.
Tip
If pressed for room on the grill, the garlic bread can be heated in a 450°F (230°C) oven 10 to 15 min., until heated through and cheese is melted.
