Not Your Godfather's Street Peppers and Sausage
Author Notes: It's to hot to turn the oven on, and I don't want to stand over a stove or heat up the kitchen. So I grilled peppers, onions, sausages, and rolls for an Italian street food favorite. Maybe this qualifies for "Fair Food" as well. - ibbeachnana
Serves 4
- 1 1/2 pound assorted peppers
- 1-2 large sweet onions, Vidalia and Red, 1/2 inches slices
- 2-3 tablespoons Olive oil for frying
- Salt and pepper
- Fresh herbs, basil, oregano,rosemary
- 4 Italian, Chicago, hoagie or sub rolls, split brushed with oil and grilled, rub toasted insides with a garlic clove
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled
- Grated provolone
- 4 Italian sausage links, hot and sweet
- Brush peppers and onions with olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill an assortment of peppers and sliced onions to char, but with crunch still to them. Heat olive oil in a sauté pan and add 4 cloves of garlic, sauté to season the oil. Toss in the peppers and onions add a few fresh herbs, basil oregano, and rosemary. Cook until the peppers are soft or less if you prefer a firmer texture Grill olive oil brushed hoagie, Chicago or sub rolls…fill each roll with a sausage, some peppers and onions. Grate provolone over and sprinkle with ground red pepper flakes for a little more heat if you have used mild or sweet peppers.

Even in a small town next to us, Swansboro, features Italian sausage and peppers at the festivals throughout the year. Not a bad thing for a small Southern town, huh?

When I was not old enough to get a "real" job one summer, I worked in an Italian Sausage food truck (not as glamorous as now seen on TV!)....This brings back good memories!
