Italian
Sausage and Pepper Hero
- 1 pound sweet or hot Italian
sausage links, 16 pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, stemmed,
seeded and sliced into 1/4-inch strips
- 1 green bell pepper, stemmed,
seeded and sliced into 1/4-inch strips
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
or butter, or a combination of both
1 large sweet onions, peeled and thinly sliced
2 to 3 cloves garlic, crushed
Salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
4 long sandwich rolls, sliced lengthwise and toasted
- In large skillet sauté
peppers, onion and garlic in oil or butter until soft, about
5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and continue cooking,
stirring frequently, until vegetables are lightly browned, 10
to 5 minutes. Pepper mixture can be made ahead; reheat at serving
time or serve at room temperature.
- Prepare fairly hot fire
in grill. Grill sausage directly over hot fire, turning occasionally,
until done, about 10 minutes total. Place sausage links in rolls,
add generous helping of sautéed peppers and onions. (Sausage
can also be pan-grilled.)
