Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup Black olives, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Crusty sandwich rolls
- 4 slices Provolone cheese slices (optional)
Instructions
1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
2. Add the sausage links to the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
4. Add the sliced red and green bell peppers, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
5. Add the sliced black olives, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir until everything is well combined. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
6. Slice the cooked sausages in half lengthwise and return them to the skillet with the vegetable mixture. Stir to combine and let the sausages absorb the flavors for 2 minutes.
7. Toast the sandwich rolls lightly, if desired.
8. To assemble, place a slice of provolone cheese (if using) on the bottom half of each roll. Layer the sausage halves evenly onto each roll, followed by a generous portion of the pepper, onion, and olive mixture.
9. Top with the other half of the roll and serve warm. Enjoy your Sausage Sandwiches with Peppers, Onions, and Olives!
