ITALIAN SAUSAGE SANDWICHES
I've always made this with sweet Italian sausage, but have recently started doing it with Polish kielbasa as well. The directions are for Italian sausage and works just fine for either hot or sweet sausage; the Polish sausage doesn't require parboiling unless you just want to do so to reduce fat.

Steps:
- Poke the sausages all over with a fork, and place in a large lidded skillet with 1-2 Tsp extra virgin olive oil and 1 cup white wine or water, turn on heat to medium, and partially cover.
- When pan begins to boil, turn sausages, and continue to simmer, turning several more times.
- When liquid has evaporated, uncover, and continue cooking until sausages have browned to your taste.
- Remove sausages from pan, and set on paper towels to drain.
- Drain all grease from skillet, but do not wash or rinse it.
- Add 1-2 Tsp more extra virgin olive oil to pan, and place on medium heat.
- Add onions, and garlic, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Moisture from the onions should be enough to deglaze the pan, but you can add 1/4 cup white wine or water, if desired, to help with the job.
- Stir the onions, scraping the bottom to pick up and dissolve browned bits from the sausage.
- Continue cooking and tossing until onions are almost translucent.
- Add peppers, and toss to combine with onions.
- Turn up heat to medium-high, and continue to toss and cook until peppers are crisp-tender or to your taste.
- Bury the sausage in the vegetables to reheat if necessary.
- I usually serve on crusty French rolls or Bolillos, crusty Mexican rolls that have been heated in the oven.
- Either one is better than your typical hoagie roll.
- I split the warmed roll, brush on a little marinara sauce, split the sausages lengthwise, and pile on the onions and peppers.
- If desired, line the roll with a slice of provolone and/or place one on top of the sausage and veggies.

Steps:
- Peel the onions, cut them in half and slice, thinly, cross-wise.
- Cut the peppers in half, remove the stems and seeds, and slice into thin strips.
- In a large skillet, preferable cast iron, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and onions and season with salt and pepper.
- Lower the heat to medium-low, and cook stirring frequently until onions are translucent and peppers are soft, 15-20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, if using a gas grill turn the burners on one side to high. If using a charcoal grill, pile the coals on one side if the grill and light them.
- Place the sausage directly over the fire and cook, turning until browned on all sides. Then move to the side of the grill with no fire, cover the grill and cook, turning once until sausage is done, 8-10 minutes.
- Slice the club rolls open and place two links of sausage in each roll and cover with a heaping portion of the peppers and onions. Serve with a cold beer to wash it down!

Tips:
- Choose the right sausage: For the best flavor, use a high-quality Italian sausage. Look for one that is made with fresh pork and has a good mix of spices.
- Cook the sausage properly: To prevent the sausage from drying out, cook it over medium heat until it is browned on all sides and cooked through.
- Use fresh peppers: Fresh peppers will give your sandwiches the best flavor. If you don't have fresh peppers, you can use frozen or canned peppers, but they won't have the same flavor.
- Don't overcook the peppers: You want the peppers to be tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Cook them for just a few minutes until they are slightly softened.
- Use a good quality bread: The bread is an important part of any sandwich, so make sure you use a good quality bread that will hold up to the fillings.
- Add your favorite toppings: You can add any of your favorite toppings to your Italian sausage and pepper sandwiches. Some popular choices include cheese, onions, mushrooms, and hot peppers.
Conclusion:
Italian sausage and pepper sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and they can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sandwich that is sure to please everyone at the table.
