30 Gourmet Sandwiches #3: Sausage and Peppers

This time im not just back from shops, its sunday i have all the time i need. and frozen paninis to defrost.


I dunno what american's "sweet italian sausage" is but i managed to find some sausages with red wine and garlic, if that aint what italians would put in a sausage then i dunno what. Also we got olive oil, mixed peppers and an onion.


First we pan-fry the sausages with a bit of olive oil. Im using my big-ass huge pan. You could make paella in this I reckon.


I slice the onion and peppers into thin strips and put them to one side while the sausages cook. I opted for a selection without green peppers, because in this country they suck ass and sometimes you get an ultra bitter one. Who invented eating unripe peppers?


once the sausages are coming along, we can make room for the veg.


we can thaw the paninis in the oven, then they'll be warm and hopefully a lil toastie.


hmm it feels wrong to cook so much vegetable without any seasoning... so im adding a generous sprinkle of orange pepper. it's got salt and black pepper, and the orange should add a fruity acidity.


Why does this smell so much like chinese stir fry? why does it smell like water chestnuts? That is not the smell i expected tbh.


Once everything is ready, we can start to layer up. The bread is warm all the way through, but it does seem like defrosting has made it more... delicate. it's softer on the inside and harder but more brittle on the outside. We must cram it carefully.

It's not bad... its sausagey, its peppery. It's quite oily. Very heavy, though i did use 2 sausages. Why no sauce?
