1 small onion, peeled and cut in half crosswise

ITALIAN SAUSAGE SANDWICHES



Italian Sausage Sandwiches image

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.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 -6 italian sweet sausage or 4 -6 hot Italian sausages
1 1/4 cups dry white wine or 1 1/4 cups water, divided
2 -4 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 large onions, thinly sliced,lengthwise
2 -3 cloves garlic, minced
3 -4 large red bell peppers or 3 -4 large green bell peppers, seeded and thinly sliced
salt & freshly ground black pepper
4 -6 large crusty French rolls, split and warmed in oven
4 -12 slices provolone cheese, 1 to 2 slices per sandwich (desirable) (optional)
1 -2 cup fairly spicy marinara sauce (if not spicy, simmer with garlic and red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to taste)

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.

ROMAN SAUSAGE SANDWICH



Roman Sausage Sandwich image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 2 (8-inch) hoagies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 small yellow onion, julienned
1 red bell pepper, julienned
1 green bell pepper, julienned
1 tablespoon butter
4 links raw spicy Italian sausage, skin sliced lengthwise and sausage removed from casings in 1 piece
6 slices provolone cheese, preferably smoked
Two 8-inch hoagie rolls
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup marinara sauce, warmed

Steps:

  • In a large skillet or flat griddle over medium-high heat, saute the onions and peppers in butter for several minutes until softened.
  • Place the sausages on the griddle or in the skillet next to the peppers and onions. Flatten slightly to the length of your hoagie roll.
  • Cook the sausages for approximately 4 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer.
  • Place half of the peppers and onions on top of 2 sausage links placed side by side and top with 3 slices of provolone cheese. Repeat for second sandwich. Wait for the cheese to melt slightly. Pick up the sausage and peppers from underneath with a metal spatula and place in the hoagie rolls. Season with salt and pepper and serve with a side of marinara sauce. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality Italian sausage for the best flavor. Look for sausage made with fresh, ground pork and seasoned with fennel and other Italian herbs.
  • If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a large non-stick skillet instead. Just make sure to preheat it over medium-high heat before adding the sausage.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the sausage. Cook it in batches if necessary to avoid steaming the sausage.
  • Use a variety of toppings on your sausage sandwich. Some popular choices include sautéed peppers and onions, marinara sauce, melted cheese, and arugula.
  • Serve your sausage sandwich immediately on a toasted bun. Enjoy!

The Italian sausage sandwich is a delicious and versatile meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
