Let the feelings guide our life or should we be more precise? Let’s make this sausage and peppers and see if life should be a carnival!
Sausage and pepper is a classic Italian dish that consist of -as its name suggest- pepper and sausages. It is supposed to be a dish served on its own, but it seems, nowadays few can resist starching it up with something like pasta, potato or simply bread.
Although we shouldn’t really blame ourselves for longing something extra to have with our sausages because many of us first encountered with sausage and pepper stuffed into a bun while strolling through a street festival like, the Feast of San Gennaro.
What is sausage and pepper?
Interestingly sausage and pepper is a dish by itself and it doesn’t really need anything by its side to be enjoyable. It has bell peppers, onion, and many times some tomatoes, to juice things up a little.
It’s fairly quick to make -as anything that becomes a street food- in a skillet of any type but less adventurous cooks can try it in the oven too. It’s as tasty as any sausage can be and a bit more colorful.
