  • Yield: 6 Subs
  • Prep Time: 25 min
  • Cook Time: 35 min

Ingredients

6 Sweet Fennel Sausage
3 Green Peppers
3 Red Peppers
1 Yellow Onion
Salt and Pepper, to taste

Instructions


Note: We recommend sautéing pepper and onions in a cast iron skillet right on the grill! If you don’t have one, you can sauté this separately in any medium-sized skillet.

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat on both sides.
  2. Slice the peppers into strips and place them in a bowl. Season with Olitalia Extra Virgin Olive Oil, salt, and pepper. Set it aside.
  3. Slice the onions and place them in a separate bowl. Coat generously with Olitalia Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
  4. Coat a cast iron pan with Olitalia Extra Virgin Olive Oil and place it directly on the grill. Heat for 10–12 minutes, or until the oil begins to lightly sizzle.
  5. Add the peppers to the pan and cook until tender and starting to brown, about 12–15 minutes.
  6. Remove the peppers from the pan and set them aside. Re-coat the pan with Olitalia Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
  7. Once the oil is hot, add the onions to the pan. Cook until they become tender and slightly browned, about 8–10 minutes.
  8. While cooking the onions, place the sausage links directly on the grill. Cook for about 15–20 minutes, rotating occasionally, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F and are evenly browned.
  9. Slice open your Caputo Italian Sub rolls, place one sausage link in each, then top with the grilled peppers and onions.
  10. Repeat until all sandwiches are assembled.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
