How can you resist making something with peppers when they look this gorgeous....
If you have ever been to an Italian street festival you probably have seen a food booth selling
If you have ever been to an Italian street festival you probably have seen a food booth selling Sausage and Pepper sandwiches...
there is nothing better...and this is what ate over the weekend....Little on work....
Big on flavor!!
You'll need 1 pound of good Italian sausage...either sweet or hot. I only use sweet.
1 onion....a red, green and yellow or orange pepper. Make sure all seeds are washed away.
These peppers were extra jumbo so I used only a half of each color...
I also swear by Bertolli sauce....tomato-basil type.
some garlic salt freshly ground and a bit of olive oil..... Italian seasoning or fresh basil
fresh sausage is always easier to cut if you use kitchen shears....cut into bite size pieces...
Brown the sausage using a little olive oil to prevent initial sticking and add the onion...
after saute'ing for 5 minutes or so add the peppers.... season with the garlic salt or you can use regular garlic.....some salt and fresh ground pepper....
Add your sauce....you can also add some Italian seasoning, some fresh basil or oregano...whatever taste you like....Simmer for about a half hour....
Serve it up on some crusty Italian rolls and some homemade fries and you'll swear you were on the streets of "Little Italy" in New York....

Goodness knows what he did to poor Elmo.......Anyhoo, I always remember one thing he always use to say and it really works....
"Hot pan.....cold oil....food won't stick".....

That looks wonderful. Reminds me of a recipe for spaghetti with Italian sausage and peppers that I clipped out of Southern Living not too long ago.
This looks good! I use scissors too..
I went to a "Sagra" in Italy..Is that what you mean? Under tents..and you sit and eat outside cafeteria style? All the different districts?
I had a nice time living that tradition.
I'll try your hot pan cold oil:) Thanks!
Looks good ... fries AND crusty bread ... and sauce ... hold the sausage, please.
@That looks so good and easy. Thanks for the recipe.
We always watched Jeff Smith when we were newlyweds. Still saying "hot pan, cool oil, food won't stick". Good advice from a strange guy.
I have his books...
I'll have to write this one down for my son - he loves to cook and next year there'll be no cafeteria food.
As for me, can't do peppers or Italian sausage - they just don't agree with me.
Sue,
Your killing me here, I LOVE those sandwiches...yum! I usually eat them without the sauce but that looks delish too.
Cheri
okay, I think I have a hankerin for some sausage and peppers. Gosh that sure does sound good this cold, wet, dreary day. Thanks for the post!
From an Italian living in Italy: this is a great recipe! BRAVA!!!
Hugs
I've fixed something similar and loved it. Must try it again - keep those ideas coming! Years ago, I also watched the frugal gourmet - he was strange, but I did learn some techniques. Have a good week. Sally
Just read your post ... it's after 7pm ... I haven't had dinner ... NOW I am starved ...
Mama Mia, that looks delicious, as well as just downright pretty! Linda
Looks fantastic, Sue. I love this kind of meal, easy and so delicious.
Thanks for the frying tip: hot pan, cold oil.
Sue.....my husband would LOVE this sandwich! hmmmm... Hey, I posted last evening on our GA luncheon., I've got a great pic of you on it! ;)
Being a veggie...the sausage doesn't do much for me but the peppers and that bread sure do! I love putting peppers in any kind of pasta.
The only thing better than sausage and peppers on a crusty roll is the aroma of sausage and peppers on a crusty roll!! Take me home to NY. Looks delicious - as always!! (P.S. Great looking peppers, too!)
Have parma cheese..will travel..what time are you serving? Looks delicious.
Mr. Shore House would looovvveee this. It's one of his favorite dishes.
That looks absolutely yummy! Since my kids left home I have almost stopped going to the grocery store but your posts have me thinking I need to get back into the kitchen!
Oh Sue...This looks so good! I read somewhere that you've got a big boo boo on your finger! Get well so you can get back to blogging!!!...hugs...Debbie
your peppers are gorgeous and i love what it inspired!
interesting side notes on the frugal gourmet too, i tossed his cookbooks, they felt tainted...
oh your meal looks so good!
whenever you talk about the streets of ny i now see your hubbies hat snatching parking spaces!
Nothing to do with the Italian goodies but is that your Pyr I see sitting at the top of the steps?
this looks GREAT !
I'll try it, it looks easy enough for me!
I used to love going to the San Gennaro Festival in Little Italy, NYC, loved the sausage and pepper sandwiches, the zeppalas, the cannoli's, pizza....the Boss is a lucky man!!
I just walked past a cart,making it on Mott St. Ah! that aroma, mixed with car exhaust and pretty girl perfume! Ilove NYC!
Sue, Thank you for your sweet comment. I hope that as a Rosebud eventually I can help record some of the unbelievable stories these women have to tell so that future generations will hear them.
Ooh, this looks like something I have to try!
Ah --I'm glad I popped over because I missed this post! We love getting sausage and peppers at street fairs -- it's so substantial :-)
Your peppers are divine! I love the color combination.
