By á-174942

Ingredients

• 6 good-quality fresh sausages see * Note
• 6 crusty panini buns
• 2 red or yellow bell peppers slivered
• 1/4 cup good-quality virgin olive oil
• 2 large sweet red or white onions sliced
• 1 garlic clove minced
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 cup dark beer
• Salt to taste
• Freshly-ground black pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

* 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.
