ITALIAN SAUSAGE SANDWICH WITH MARINARA SAUCE RECIPES

Steps:

• Poach raw sausages in 1/2 cup water in a covered skillet, simmering until almost done.
• This takes about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Sautè onions and peppers with olive oil, salt, pepper and oregano 4 minutes on medium-high heat.
• Add the wine, cover and cook 4 minutes more.
• Uncover and cook until moisture is absorbed.
• On either a grill or in a skillet with a little extra-virgin olive oil, cook the poached sausages over medium-high heat 7 to 10 minutes, turning often to ensure even browning.
• In a large baking dish or pan, place the opened rolls.
• Fill the rolls with 1 sausage in each roll and evenly distribute the onions and peppers.
• Mix the 3 shredded cheeses and evenly sprinkle that on top.
• Place in oven, uncovered, on 400°F or until the cheese is melted.
• Remove from oven, top with some Marinara sauce, close the sandwiches and serve.
• NOTE: See my recipe for Marinara Sauce #84217.
