Ingredients

6 Italian Sausages (see notes)

4x 6" Sub Rolls/Baguettes/Italian Rolls

1x 14oz/400g can of good quality Skinned Plum Tomatoes or Chopped Tomatoes

1/4 cup / 60ml Chicken Stock (can sub veg stock if that's what you have)

3 large Peppers, (sliced)

1 medium Onion, (sliced)

2 cloves of Garlic, (finely diced)

1 heaped tbsp Tomato Paste (Tomato Puree in UK)

1 tbsp Red Wine Vinegar

1/2 tsp EACH: Dried Basil, Dried Oregano

1/4 - 1/2 tsp Chilli Flakes

Sugar, Salt & Pepper, (to taste)

4 tbsp Butter, (or as needed (to butter bread)

4 pinches of Parmesan, (to serve)

Olive Oil, (for frying)

Fresh Parsley, (to serve (optional)

Directions

Sausages

In a large pan over over low-medium heat add a drizzle of oil. Add in your sausages and fry for 15-20mins, turning some-what frequently. A lower heat will render down the fat and make the skin nice and crispy, whilst making sure the meat cooks properly. Remove sausages, keep in the fat and raise heat slightly to medium.

Peppers

Add in peppers & onions and fry until they begin to soften/brown. Add in garlic and fry for another minute or so, then stir in tomato paste and fry for another 2mins. Pour in stock and deglaze the pan with your wooden spoon.

Sauce

Add tomatoes, red wine vinegar, basil/oregano, chilli flakes and sugar, salt & pepper to taste. Give it all a good stir. Slice your sausages into chunks and add them to the sauce, then lower heat slightly and simmer for 15-20mins, or until the sauce has completely thickened. This is not only important to reduce the liquid, but also to marry the flavours together.

Serve

Slice your subs and spread with butter. Add in sausage and peppers then top with a sprinkling of parmesan and fresh parsley (optional). Enjoy!
