Grilled Sausage On Crusty Buns With Braised Onions And Peppe

Recipe Ingredients

6		Good-quality fresh sausages - see * Note
6		Crusty panini buns
2		Red or yellow bell peppers - slivered
1/4 cup	59ml	Good-quality virgin olive oil
2 cups	125g / 4.4oz	Sweet red or white onions - sliced (large)
1		Garlic clove - minced
1 tablespoon	15ml	Sugar
1/2 cup	118ml	Dark beer
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste

Recipe Instructions

* Note: Like Spolumbo's or Gordon Sinclair's chicken or turkey sausages.

Cut the peppers lengthwise, remove the stems and seeds, and slice into long slivers. Cut the onions in half and slice thinly.

In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the onions and peppers slowly until they are golden and caramelized. This will take at least 30 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic, sugar and beer, and simmer until most of the liquid is gone and the onions and peppers form a thick, jammy mass. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.

Grill the sausages over medium heat for 15 minutes, until nicely browned and cooked through. Pile some of the caramelized pepper and onion mixture on each bun and fill each with a grilled sausage.

This recipe yields 6 servings.
