Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links Italian sausages
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 1 large White onion
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.5 cups Chicken broth
- 4 Crusty sandwich rolls
Instructions
Slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Slice the onion into thin slices and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage links and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the sliced bell peppers, onions, and garlic. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to coat the vegetables evenly.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let the mixture simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly reduced.
Slice the sausages into 1-inch pieces and return them to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir everything together and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes until the sausages are cooked through.
Toast the sandwich rolls under a broiler or in a toaster oven for 1 to 2 minutes until lightly crispy.
Spoon the sausage and pepper mixture onto the rolls, ensuring each sandwich is generously filled.
Serve hot and enjoy your Sausage and Peppers Sandwiches!
