Spicy Italian Sausages

dmourati

We decided to make some spicy Italian sausages for Memorial Day Weekend. I put the sausages right on the grid for about 5 mins per side to get some color. Then I brought out the lodge cast iron skillet and added some basil olive oil and butter to do red/green peppers and onions with basil and oregano. I then added the sausages back to the cast iron with some salt and pepper and red wine and covered for another 20 mins.

Served with orzo, side salad, and a nice Monterey Pinot Noir.

I'm only partially ashamed to admit I ate three sausages on my own.

A real treat, slap them with peppers on a hoggie and your in heaven.

I bought 4 lbs of the stuff from my local butcher.

I did them as sandwiches a few weeks back with provolone. It was really good. To be honest though, the bread and cheese treatment were not as good as just served straight up over orzo. That could be the red wine talking but that's my current assessment.

Bumping my old thread as I went to make this and my link to the Serious Eats recipe now shows a new recipe I don't care to make. I found an alternate set of links:

Looks great. I roll the same way you do.....only I put mine into a nice red marinara sauce to simmer.

I love grilled sausages!  I have mine with grilled onion, peppers (usually red or yellow), and fennel.

Glad this necro thread was helpful. I realized that I don't have a system for storing my favorite recipes other than this site. Going down on Sunday.

We love Aldi hot italian sausages.  They're not "hot", more like medium. When those puppies go on sale around $2, I fill the freezer.

Sausage and peppers, polenta, caprese salad, and garlic bread.
