ITALIAN SAUSAGE SANDWICHES WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS

MAKES 8 SANDWICHES

This is great food. I love the sausage. I love the peppers and onions. Put them together and they are even better. Give it a try.

INGREDIENTS

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 large green or red bell peppers, or a mixture of both, sliced into 1/2-inch strips

2 large onions, sliced

3 large cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon or more of dried oregano, basil or combination of both

Salt and pepper to taste

2 pounds Italian link sausage, mild or hot

8 hoagie or steak sandwich rolls

Heat olive oil in large sauté over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until slightly wilted. Add garlic and cook one more minute. Add peppers and seasonings; stir to combine. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers are very tender, about 20 minutes. Remove the lid to evaporate liquids.

Meanwhile, cut sausage into desired size for sandwiches, allowing for shrinkage. Place on hot grill and cook until browned on all sides and thoroughly done. If necessary, place cooked sausages in pan with peppers to keep warm. To serve, place a sausage in roll and top with peppers and onions as desired.

Notes: If preferred, the peppers and onions can be grilled or roasted in oven. Try to purchase a good-quality sausage that is not too fatty. The sausage can be broiled or pan fried. Leftover peppers and onions make a delicious sandwich without the sausage. Just add some cheese.

Variation: Add a little tomato or tomato sauce to the peppers and onions.
