Sausage Bell Pepper And Onion Focaccia Sandwiches Recipes

SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS SANDWICHES RECIPE

Steps:

• Peel the onions, cut them in half and slice, thinly, cross-wise.
• Cut the peppers in half, remove the stems and seeds, and slice into thin strips.
• In a large skillet, preferable cast iron, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and onions and season with salt and pepper.
• Lower the heat to medium-low, and cook stirring frequently until onions are translucent and peppers are soft, 15-20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, if using a gas grill turn the burners on one side to high. If using a charcoal grill, pile the coals on one side if the grill and light them.
• Place the sausage directly over the fire and cook, turning until browned on all sides. Then move to the side of the grill with no fire, cover the grill and cook, turning once until sausage is done, 8-10 minutes.
• Slice the club rolls open and place two links of sausage in each roll and cover with a heaping portion of the peppers and onions. Serve with a cold beer to wash it down!

SAUSAGE, PEPPER, AND ONION SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Cut the sausages apart into individual links if necessary, place the sausage links into a large skillet over medium heat, and brown them on all sides. Set the sausages aside, reserving the pan drippings.
• Pour the whole tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, and tomato sauce into a large saucepan with a lid; stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, sugar, and onion powder. Bring the mixture to a boil; add the cooked sausages, pan drippings, green peppers, and onions. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the vegetables are very tender and the sauce has thickened, about 6 hours. Serve on Italian hoagie buns.

SAUSAGE, BELL PEPPER, AND ONION FOCACCIA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a large skillet sauté the bell peppers, the onions, the garlic paste, and the fennel seeds in the oil over moderately high heat, stirring, until the vegetables are browned lightly, cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened, and season the mixture with salt and pepper. While the vegetables are cooking, in a well-seasoned ridged grill pan or large skillet grill the sausage lengths over moderately high heat, turning them once, for 6 to 10 minutes, or until they are cooked through, and halve them lengthwise.
• Halve the focaccia squares horizontally, leaving one edge uncut to form a hinge, and fill them with the pepper mixture and the sausage.

THICK FOCACCIA

Steps:

• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment proof the yeast with the sugar in the water for 5 minutes, or until the mixture is foamy, add the flour, the table salt, and 3 tablespoons of the oil, and combine the dough well. With the dough hook knead the dough for 2 minutes, or until it is soft and slightly sticky. Form the dough into a ball, transfer it to an oiled bowl, and turn it to coat it with the oil. Let the dough rise, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place for 1 1/2 hours, or until it is double in bulk. The dough may be made up to this point, punched down, and kept, covered and chilled, overnight. Let the dough return to room temperature before proceeding with the recipe. Press the dough evenly into an oiled jelly-roll pan, 15 1/2 by 10 1/2 by 1 inches, and let it rise, covered loosely, in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it is almost double in bulk.
• Dimple the dough, making 1/4-inch-deep indentations with your fingertips, brush it with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and sprinkle it with the coarse salt. Bake the focaccia in the bottom third of a preheated 400°F. oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until it is golden brown, let it cool in the pan on a rack, and serve it warm or at room temperature, split for sandwiches if desired.
