Ingredients

  • 2 green bell peppers, seeded and cut into strips
  • 2 red bell peppers, seeded and cut into strips
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds fresh sweet Italian sausage
  • 4 soft hoagie rolls, hinged
  • Homemade Hot Giardiniera, recipe follows
  • 2 balls fresh mozzarella, sliced

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Toss the green and red peppers with the olive oil, granulated garlic and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lay the peppers on a baking sheet and bake, stirring halfway through, until lighter in color and soft, about 25 minutes. Reserve and don't drain excess oil from the baking sheet.

Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the sausages, covered with a bowl, until nice and charred and no longer pink on the inside, flipping once, about 12 minutes each side.

Preheat the broiler and set the rack to the middle of the oven. Brush the inside of the rolls with the reserved sweet pepper oil from the baking sheet. Place the sausages, peppers, some more of the sweet pepper oil and some of the Homemade Hot Giardiniera on the rolls. Top with the mozzarella and place under the broiler until melty and gooey! Take off your shirt, get some color and eat.

Homemade Hot Giardiniera:

  • 1/4 cup table salt
  • 1 cup carrots, small dice
  • 1 cup tiny cauliflower florets
  • 4 to 8 serrano peppers (depending on heat level desired), sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 stalk celery, small dice
  • 1 red bell pepper, small dice
  • 2 cups canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Combine 2 cups water and the salt in a glass or nonreactive bowl. Mix until the salt is dissolved. Add the carrots, cauliflower, serranos, minced garlic, celery and bell peppers to the salt water and stir to combine. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

On day 2, drain and rinse the vegetables. Mix the canola oil, oregano and black pepper in a clean bowl. Add the vegetables and mix to combine. Allow to marinate overnight. Giardiniera will only get better with time. After 2 days at the most in the bowl, you can place the Giardiniera in air-tight mason jars and keep in the fridge for 2 to 3 weeks. Yield: 3 to 4 cups.

    Very good. Just felt like something was missing. Back in NY we often made sausage and peppers with a red sauce. I've got some of today's left over, so tomorrow I'll throw some sauce in and see how that is. Also, I added onion to cook with the sausage like we always used to do.
    OK, it's a day later and I made some of Giada's basic tomato sauce and added that as well as some grated parmesan cheese to the mozzarella. Maybe it's just my personal taste, but I preferred it this way.

    Awesome! No matter what the prep - grilled, pan fried, oven roasted, etc. these come out great and the cheese sauce - fantastic. I added a bit more mustard then called for, cuz that's the way I like it, and sauerkraut is a must. With these sausages I did like the crunchy roll better - the soft steamed roll seems to be a favorite with hot dogs for me. Very Good!
