Ingredients
- ---For the veg----
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 small yellow onions, sliced
- Salt & pepper
- 2 red bell peppers, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ¼–½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- ¼–½ cup light flavoured beer
- ----For the sandwiches----
- 4 spicy Italian sausages
- Olive oil
- 4 slices provolone
- 4 Portuguese buns, split
- Dijon mustard
- Caponata, antipasto condiment, or chilis in oil
Directions
- Place a large cast iron or stainless-steel skillet over medium heat. Add in the oil along with the onions and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes or until the onions soften slightly and start to pick up a little colour. Add in the peppers and continue to cook, turning down the heat if needed, for 10 to 15 minutes until both the onions and peppers are jammy.
- Stir in the garlic and the smoked paprika and chili flakes to taste and continue to cook for 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the beer and cook until the beer evaporates. Remove the veg form the pan and set aside. Return the pan to medium heat.
- For the sandwiches, split the sausages in half lengthwise, leaving a hinge if possible. Add a little oil to the pan and cook the sausages, cut side down, until golden brown. Flip and continue to cook until golden and cooked through. Add the cheese on top, cover the pan with a lid, and allow the cheese to melt for about 30 seconds.
- Transfer the sausages onto the buns and top with the peppers and onions. Spread a bit of mustard on the top of the bun and add caponata, antipasto, or chilis, if desired.
