This recipe appeared in the January 29, 2006, Post-Gazette Food Section - Pittsburgh Super Bowl Recipes - and ran in the Seattle papers. What Pittsburgh Eats is Sausage - stacked with peppers, onions and sauce, on a great Mancini's Italian sausage bun. When the sauce starts to drip down your chin, the bun can work as a sponge so you don't lose a drop! The amounts of the sausage and spices can be adjusted to suit individual taste. Ingredients:
1 large onion, sliced |
1 large green bell pepper, sliced |
1 large red bell pepper, sliced |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste) |
1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste) |
1 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste) |
2 (28 ounce) cans italian plum tomatoes |
fresh whole basil |
1 -1 1/2 lb hot sausage (ring) |
provolone cheese (optional) or mozzarella cheese (optional) |
Directions:
1. In large skillet, saute sliced onions and peppers in olive oil until transparent.
2. Add salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste.
3. Chop and blend in a blender, 2 cans of the plum tomatoes, one can at a time.
4. Add whole basil to the sauce.
5. Stir blended tomatoes into skillet of peppers and onions.
6. Prepare sausage ring by poking holes in sausage with a fork.
7. Boil sausage ring in a large pot of water for approximately 10 minutes.
8. Drain and cut the sausage into 4-inch pieces.
9. Brown the sausage pieces lightly in a frying pan, then add to the sauce.
