Steps
1 Done | Start with mixing olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, black pepper, and oregano in a small bowl. |
2 Done | You should brush sausages with the oil mixture (just 2 tablespoons) and then roll each sausage using 2 grape leaves. Don’t forget to secure ends with wooden toothpicks. |
3 Done | Place the grill screen on the grill and paint it with oil; wait from 1 to 2 minutes until the surface becomes hot. Start grilling sausages until leaves are charred (on all sides), and the sausages should feel firm when you touch them; the process is about 8 minutes, you should turn them a quarter turn every 2 minutes. |
4 Done | You can finally serve drizzled with the remaining mixture of olive oil. |
