shim spins the classics: italian sausage-pepper-onion sandwich
as we slide into july and, thus, triple-digit temps, i fucking seriously hate to even look at the stove, nevermind turn it on. but sometimes being hungry for anything not just straight out of the fridge can be a powerful lure. and dammit, i love italian food.
fear not, my friends: this sammich is terribly fucking delicious and only takes about 15 mins for your celebrity chef to make. note: this dish can also be prepared cowboy-style on the grill if you, too, received a fucking $200 electric bill. gee, thanks, city of austin!
behold:
- 4 spicy italian sausages, cut length-wise -or- the far easier XL (1 lb.) tube of ground spicy italian breakfast sausage
- 1 large red or yellow bell pepper
- 1 half of a large red onion (shallots work too)
- 2 medium crusty french or italian rolls, toasted and buttered -or- if, like us, you fear the carbs, 2 low-carb wraps
- butter
- salt and fresh ground black pepper
to prepare:
grill or pan-fry your sausage until brown and set aside. add a little butter to your pan, then the onion and peppers and cook on medium, stirring occasionally until onions and peppers are soft. salt and black pepper to taste. just the smell of this dish a-cookin’ is enough to drive one wild. oh, and obviously if you are grilling, you’ll need a cast-iron skillet or pot for the final stage. you know what i’m saying?
add the sausage back into the onion and pepper mixture to heat it all through, and then add all that to the crusty buns or wraps and boo-ya.
simple, fast and killer.
shim xxx-tra: pour a nice crisp yellow tail pinot grigio or santa rita 120 sauvignon blanc and attain culinary nirvana. both are under $6 a bottle, especially if you shop at h-e-b.
