Hot Italian Sausage with Black Bean Salad, Green Chili Sauce and Roasted Onion

Start by roasting a whole onion, in its skin for about 1 hr or until tender. We skewered ours and put it right in a charcoal fire. Peel the onion and dice 1/2 of it. set the other 1/2 aside. Prepare the relish by mixing 1 can green enchilada sauce, 1 small can diced green chilies, diced bell pepper, diced tomatoes, the diced roasted onion, 1t ground cumin, salt and pepper to taste. The black bean salad has been here before. Drain and rinse a can of black beans. Additions can be choosen from your favorites. We used some diced celery, bell pepper, banana peppers and red onion and 1t ground cumin. The dressing is equal parts of olive oil and red wine vinegar or lime juice.

The sausages were a hot Italian variety and simply roasted on the grill. Serve with the remaining 1/2 of the roasted onion, bean salad and the green chili sauce.
