FESTIVAL-STYLE GRILLED ITALIAN SAUSAGE SANDWICHES



Festival-Style Grilled Italian Sausage Sandwiches image

These delicious grilled sausage sandwiches are my attempt to duplicate the ones I ate when I was growing up and attended Italian street festivals in the North End of Boston. They come together really quickly, and make a great summer lunch. Choose hot or mild sausages as you prefer.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 (4 ounce) links hot Italian sausage
1 red bell pepper, halved and seeded
1 small onion, peeled and cut in half crosswise
2 teaspoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 (6 inch) sandwich rolls, split and toasted

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat. Lightly oil grate, and set 4 inches from the heat.
  • Pierce the sausages in a few places with a fork, and set aside. Slice off the bottoms of the onion halves so they will sit flat on the grill. Brush the bell pepper and onion halves with 2 teaspoons of olive oil.
  • Place the sausages, onions, and peppers on the preheated grill. Cook and turn the sausages until well browned and juices run clear. Cook vegetables until tender and peppers are slightly charred. Remove vegetables and sausages from the grill.
  • Place the peppers in a paper bag, close, and cool slightly. Remove and discard the charred skin from the peppers; slice peppers into strips. Slice the onion halves. Place salt and pepper to taste, and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a bowl. Add the peppers and onions, and toss until evenly coated. To serve, place sausages in sandwich rolls, and top with the pepper and onion mixture.

PITTSBURGH-STYLE SAUSAGE SANDWICH WITH CHUNKY TOMATO AND BELL PEPPER SAUCE



Pittsburgh-Style Sausage Sandwich with Chunky Tomato and Bell Pepper Sauce image

Why Pittsburgh? Because James Potenziani, known to all as "Chooch," is Italian American and grew up in Pittsburgh. He was the master behind the sausage machine at Pig-by-the-Tail. He is also a football person (he always roots for the Steelers), and he devised the Pittsburgh sausage sandwich to celebrate on Super Bowl day. It became a year-round favorite at Pig-by-the-Tail.

Yield serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 yellow or white onions, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 green bell peppers, halved lengthwise, seeded, and cut lengthwise into 1/2-inch-wide strips
2 small red or green chiles, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano, or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 pounds fresh tomatoes, chopped, or 3 cups canned plum tomatoes, chopped, with juices
Kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil, for cooking
2 pounds Sweet Italian Sausage (page 37), formed into 1 1/4-inch balls
6 to 8 Italian or French bread rolls, or 2 baguettes

Steps:

  • To make the sauce, heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, bell peppers, chiles, and oregano and sauté until the onions and peppers have softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and their juices, salt to taste, and the pepper, decrease the heat to maintain a brisk simmer, and cook, uncovered, until thickened, about 45 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, brown the meatballs. Add just enough oil to a large sauté pan to film the bottom and place over medium-high heat. Working in batches to avoid crowding, add the sausage balls and brown all around, about 10 minutes. As each batch is done, transfer to a plate.
  • When the sauce is ready, add the browned sausage balls and continue cooking until the sauce is reduced and the sausages are cooked through and tender, about 20 minutes.
  • To serve, split the rolls lengthwise. Or, if using baguettes, cut each baguette crosswise into thirds or quarters, and then split the sections lengthwise. Place the bottom halves of the rolls, cut sides up, on individual plates. Divide the sausage balls evenly among the roll bottoms and spoon plenty of sauce over the top. Close the sandwiches and serve right away with lots of napkins.

I've been making these spicy and satisfying sandwiches for more than a dozen years. On occasion, I substitute country sausage for the Italian sausage and they taste just as good. Served with a zesty sauce for dipping, they're my family's favorite. -Brenda Jackson, Garden City, Kansas

Categories     Sandwiches

Time 2h45m

Number Of Ingredients 21

COOK TIME IS FOR THE SAUCE - IF NOT MAKING, CUT TIME DOWN TO ABOUT 45 MINUTES
1 lb hot or sweet italian sausage - cut into bite sized pieces
1 onion, sliced
8 baby portabella mushrooms, sliced
one each, red bell pepper and green bell pepper, sliced
sauce mine or yours
garlic bread - texas toast garlic bread works great for this
SAUCE
olive oil
1 onion, chopped
4 clove garlic, smashed
1 - 28 oz can, crushed tomatoes
1 small can, tomato paste
1/2 tsp salt & fresh ground pepper
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 c red or masala wine
1 tsp each - dried oregano and dried basil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
fresh parsley
shredded parmesan- about 1/2 cup
water for thinning sauce as needed

Steps:

  • 1. For the sauce: In a large skillet, over medium heat, add a few tablespoons olive oil. Once oil is hot, add the onions and garlic. Cook until onions are tender, stirring occasionally. ( about 10 minutes.)
  • 2. Add the wine, tomatoes, paste, basil, sugar, oregano, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 2 hours. Stir occasionally checking every so often to add some water when becomes too thick - about 1/4 cup at a time.
  • 3. Once the sauce has simmered for a few hours. Add the fresh parsley and parmesan. Stir and set aside. ( if you don't use a fresh sauce, and are using store bought, make sure you doctor it up with seasonings and especially garlic.
  • 4. Sausage: In a large skillet. Cook your pieces of sausage over medium heat, stirring frequently so as not to burn. I just shake the skillet occasionally. Once sausage is cooked through and browning. Drain on paper towel and set aside.
  • 5. Over medium heat,in the same skillet as you fried sausage, add about 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the onion, peppers, mushrooms.( salt and pepper.) and minced garlic if not using a sauce. Saute until vegetables are tender, don't overcook as they will simmer for a bit in the sauce. ( if not using a sauce, cook veggies until completely tender.)
  • 6. Once veggies are cooked; add the sausage back to the pan. ( This can actually be served as shown, if you don't like sauce.)
  • 7. Measure about 2 cups prepared sauce, ( more depending how saucy you want them.) Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes.
  • 8. Turn on broiler or grill. Toast desired amount of garlic bread you will need, until golden.
  • 9. Top one half with sausage mixture...sprinkle with Parmesan and is feasting time. I've also used this sausage mixture to serve over pasta. Also, if you like it hotter, sprinkle with some red pepper flakes. This is great in hoagie rolls as well. Can also be kept warm in a crock pot or if making triple batches, have kept hot in a roaster. Serve this at your next picnic, it will be gone in no time. :)
