Time 45m

Yield 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 mild Italian sausage or 4 hot Italian sausages
2 medium onions (cut in half & sliced)
1 green bell pepper (cored, seeded & sliced)
1 red bell pepper (cored, seeded & sliced)
6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 cup white wine or 1/8 cup red wine
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup shredded provolone cheese
4 hoagie rolls (submarine)
1 cup marinara sauce (see my recipe 84217)

Steps:

Poach raw sausages in 1/2 cup water in a covered skillet, simmering until almost done.
This takes about 8 to 10 minutes.
Sautè onions and peppers with olive oil, salt, pepper and oregano 4 minutes on medium-high heat.
Add the wine, cover and cook 4 minutes more.
Uncover and cook until moisture is absorbed.
On either a grill or in a skillet with a little extra-virgin olive oil, cook the poached sausages over medium-high heat 7 to 10 minutes, turning often to ensure even browning.
In a large baking dish or pan, place the opened rolls.
Fill the rolls with 1 sausage in each roll and evenly distribute the onions and peppers.
Mix the 3 shredded cheeses and evenly sprinkle that on top.
Place in oven, uncovered, on 400°F or until the cheese is melted.
Remove from oven, top with some Marinara sauce, close the sandwiches and serve.
NOTE: See my recipe for Marinara Sauce #84217.
