Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

4 medium green bell peppers
8 ounces ground pork sausage
1 1/2 cups chopped onions
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 cups cooked long-grain rice
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Essence, plus more for seasoning, recipe follows
1/4 cup chopped green onions, green part only
1 tablespoon chopped parsley leaves
2 tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
4 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Cut off the top quarter of each bell pepper and reserve. Scoop the seeds and veins out from the inside of each pepper and discard. Set bell pepper shells aside. Remove and discard the stems from each bell pepper top. Dice enough of the bell pepper tops to make 1/2 cup. Set aside.
  • In a large skillet, over medium-high heat, crumble and brown the sausage until cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the onions, 1/2 cup diced bell pepper, and the celery. Saute for 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the rice and mix well. Season with salt, pepper and Essence. Cook for about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the green onions and parsley. Season the insides of the bell pepper shells with salt and pepper, to taste. Spoon the rice mixture into the bell peppers.
  • In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs and cheese. Season with a pinch of Essence and mix well. Sprinkle the crust over each pepper. Top each crust with 1 teaspoon of butter and place the peppers into an 8-inch baking dish or pan. Add just enough water to cover the bottom, about 1/3 cup. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are crusty and brown and warmed through. Serve hot.
  • Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

SAUSAGES WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS



Sausages with Peppers and Onions image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 pounds sausages (spicy Italian, mild Italian, plant-based, etc.)
2 orange bell peppers, seeded and sliced
2 red bell peppers, seeded and sliced
2 yellow bell peppers, seeded and sliced
2 white onions, halved and sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cloves garlic, sliced
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil

Steps:

  • Heat a large braiser or high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and swirl to coat the skillet. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sausages and brown on all sides until browned but not cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove them to a plate and let cool until cool enough to handle, then slice them into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
  • Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the skillet. Add the peppers and onions and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook the peppers and onions, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to incorporate. Continue cooking the vegetables over low heat until they're very soft, beginning to caramelize and have some spots of browning, about 40 minutes. If the vegetables start to look like they're getting too browned too quickly, add a splash of water to deglaze.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar and the sausages to the skillet and stir to incorporate. Continue cooking until the sausages are cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the heat off.
  • Garnish with the basil and serve immediately.

GRILLED SAUSAGES, PEPPERS AND ONIONS



Grilled Sausages, Peppers and Onions image

The well-loved trifecta of sausages, peppers and onions can be found at Italian street fairs, ballparks and on weeknight dinner tables. They're often roasted or braised, but this recipe makes smart use of a grill: Sausages cook over indirect heat to prevent bursting, while peppers and onions soften and char over the flames. At the end, while the sausages and rolls spend a few minutes over direct heat to brown and crisp, the cooked vegetables rest in a tart vinaigrette to balance the sweetness of the peppers. Tuck the sausages and vegetables into the roll, then add mustard, giardiniera, mozzarella or nothing at all.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     sandwiches, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 sweet or hot Italian pork sausages (about 1 pound)
1 pound bell peppers (any color), seeds and stem removed, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rings
2 large yellow or red onions, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick rings (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
Olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 hero, hoagie or sub rolls, about 6 inches long, halved lengthwise but still connected
1/4 cup red wine, Sherry or apple cider vinegar
Pinch of dried oregano (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare a charcoal or gas grill for two-zone cooking over medium-high heat. (For a charcoal grill, pour the coals on one side. For a gas grill, heat all burners covered on high, then reduce one burner to medium-high and turn off the other. If your grill has three burners, reduce the outer two to medium-high and turn off the middle.)
  • Meanwhile, remove sausages from the package to come to room temperature and to air-dry. In a large bowl or baking dish, toss the peppers and onions with olive oil, salt and pepper to coat. Lightly brush the interior of the rolls with olive oil.
  • Clean and oil the grates. (Dip the trimmed end of the onion in oil and use it to grease the grates). Place the peppers and onions over the flame (direct heat) and place the sausages where there is no flame beneath (indirect heat). Cover and cook, flipping occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and charred in spots and cooked through, 14 to 20 minutes. (To keep all of the juices in, insert the thermometer into the ends of the sausages as opposed to pricking the sausage casing.)
  • To the now-empty bowl or baking dish, add the vinegar, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and oregano, if using. Season with salt and pepper. As the vegetables finish cooking, add them to the bowl and toss to combine. Move the sausages to direct heat and cook, turning often, until charred and crisp, 2 to 4 minutes. (Cover if using a gas grill.) Transfer to the bowl of vegetables to rest for a few minutes. Grill the cut sides of the buns over direct heat until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Divide the peppers, onions and sausages between rolls.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bell peppers: For this recipe, you'll want to use bell peppers that are firm and brightly colored. Avoid any peppers that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Prepare the bell peppers properly: Before you start cooking, you'll need to core and seed the bell peppers. To do this, simply cut the peppers in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scoop out the seeds and ribs.
  • Season the sausage and peppers well: Don't be afraid to season the sausage and peppers liberally. A good rule of thumb is to use about 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper per pound of sausage.
  • Cook the sausage and peppers over medium heat: This will help to prevent the sausage from overcooking and becoming dry. Cook the sausage and peppers until the sausage is browned and cooked through and the peppers are tender.
  • Add the other ingredients: Once the sausage and peppers are cooked, you can add the other ingredients, such as the onion, garlic, and tomatoes. Cook the mixture until the vegetables are softened and the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the sausage and peppers immediately: Sausage and peppers is best served immediately, while it is still hot. You can serve it over rice, pasta, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Bell peppers and sausage make a great combination that can be used in many different dishes. They are both relatively inexpensive ingredients, and they are easy to find in most grocery stores. This recipe is a simple one, but it is very versatile. It can be used as a main course, or it can be served as a side dish. It is also a great way to use up leftover sausage. If you are looking for a delicious and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
