Ingredients
- 4 Italian sausages
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 cup chimichurri sauce
- 4 sandwich rolls
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 Italian sausages, 1 red bell pepper (sliced), 1 green bell pepper (sliced), 1/2 cup chimichurri sauce, 4 sandwich rolls, and olive oil for cooking.
- In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the Italian sausages to the skillet.
- Cook the sausages for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (70°C).
- While the sausages are cooking, prepare the bell peppers. In a separate pan, heat a little more olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced red and green bell peppers to the pan. Sauté them for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly caramelized. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Once the sausages are done, remove them from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes before slicing them lengthwise.
- While the sausages are resting, cut the sandwich rolls in half and lightly toast them in the skillet for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- Assemble the sandwiches by placing a sliced sausage on the bottom half of each toasted roll.
- Top each sausage with the sautéed bell peppers, ensuring an even distribution.
- Drizzle about 2 tablespoons of chimichurri sauce over the peppers and sausages in each sandwich.
- Close the sandwiches with the top half of the rolls and serve immediately while warm.
- Enjoy your delicious Sausage Pepper Chimichurri Sandwiches with a side of your choice or on their own!
Tips
- Choose high-quality Italian sausages for the best flavor - fresh, well-seasoned sausages make a huge difference.
- Make sure to slice your bell peppers evenly to ensure uniform cooking and caramelization.
- Toast your sandwich rolls lightly to add a crispy texture and prevent sogginess.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure sausages are cooked to the safe internal temperature of 160°F.
- For an extra flavor boost, try making your own chimichurri sauce from scratch if time permits.
- Let the sausages rest for a few minutes after cooking to help retain their juices when sliced.
- Serve immediately while everything is warm for the most enjoyable eating experience.
