Sausages and peppers are a staple of Italian street fairs. Originally, the sausages were only available in Italy in the winter months, as that was the only time that the family hog was slaughtered. In America, sausage was available year round, making the this meal all the more popular.
Ingredients
- 3 red bell peppers shopping list
- 3 green bell peppers shopping list
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil shopping list
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled shopping list
- 2 onions, peeled and thinly sliced shopping list
- salt shopping list
- 8 Italian sausages, sweet or hot shopping list
How to make it
- Wash peppers, remove stems, ribs and seeds. Cut into 1 inch wide strips.
- Heat oil in skillet large enough to hold peppers. Add garlic, and cook until browned. Discard garlic. Add onions to the oil and cook until softened but into browned. Add the peppers and salt to taste, cover the pan, and continue to cook over low heat until the peppers are soft. (about 30 minutes)
- Prick the sausages all over with the tip of a sharp knife. Put in one layer in a heavy frying pan with 2 Tbl water. Cook over medium heat heat, turning often. The water should evaporate and the fat should run so the sausage cooks in it's own juice. Cook until the sausage is browned, and cooked through (10 to 15 minutes).
- Add the peppers and onions to the sausages and heat together 5 minutes.
- *At most street fairs, sausages and peppers are served inside crusty Italian rolls, cut open to hold them.

Great Recipe and very close to mine. Only thing i did different was to add some very finely minced rosemary and basil. Also used mild Italian sausage and served it over rice. Delicious
Made for the Jan. Challenge Jan.9/2018

This reminded me of a fair my parents took me to when I was a kid! It was the first time I had ever had a sausage and peppers sandwich. Really delicious. I put the peppers and onions in at the same time and took the lid off for the final 10 minutes...more
