oven roasted sausage, onions and peppers with tomatoes |
2 lbs quality italian sausage |
4 sweet onions sliced vertically into strips |
3 large tomatoes peeled, seeded and sliced vertically into strips |
6 small garlic cloves, pressed |
1 each: red, yellow, and green bell peppers, cored, seeded, and cut into thin vertical strips |
salt |
2-3 pinches crushed red pepper |
3/4 cup (half a can) beer of your choice |
Directions:
1. Directions:
2. 1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
3. 2. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook them, turning once in a while, until they’re nice and brown almost all over, about 10 minutes. (They’ll curl up a little as they cook, so it’ll be hard to brown them on all sides. Don’t sweat it.) Poke each link 4 or 5 times with a fork as they cook to release some of their juices.
4. 3. Remove the sausages from the pan and set aside. Sausages will have given off some juice, but if this is not enough add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sauté the onions until translucent. Using a garlic press, add garlic into the juices in the pan, stir it around until you can smell it, and then add the peppers. Season them lightly with salt and red pepper, and cook about 8 minutes, tossing them around until they’re wilted and starting to brown. Add the sausage to the pan.
5. 4. Pour in the beer, bring it to a boil, and then put the pan in the oven. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated (you’ll want a little to spoon on to a sandwiche), the peppers are tender, and the parts of the sausages poking up are browned, 25 to 30 minutes. You can make the sausages and peppers before people come over and then heat them over low heat half an hour before you’re ready to serve. Add the tomatoes just to heat through. Serve hot along with a basket or plate of small rolls, split open and ready for stuffing. Makes 8-10 servings.
