An Evening in Tuscany Sausage, Pepper & Onion Subs

This is no ordinary Italian Sub.  The textures are perfect, and, thanks to Milford Spice Company’s An Evening in Tuscany, the flavors will have you giving it a chef’s kiss after every spicy bite!

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound sweet Italian turkey sausage
2 red bell peppers, sliced
2 yellow onions, sliced
Salt & pepper to taste
1 Tbsp and 1 tsp Milford Spice Company’s An Evening In Tuscany
4 garlic cloves, chopped
2 Tbsp tomato paste
1 cup Marsala wine
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
4 to 6 fresh Italian sandwich rolls, optional

DIRECTIONS

• Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until brown on both sides, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and drain.

• Keeping the pan over medium heat, add the peppers, onions, salt, and pepper and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the Milford Spice Company’s An Evening in Tuscany and garlic and cook 2 more minutes.

• Add the tomato paste and stir. Add the Marsala wine, and tomatoes.  Stir to combine, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release all the browned bits. Bring to a simmer.

• Cut the sausages into 4 to 6 pieces each, about 1-inch cubes. Add the sausage back to the pan and stir to combine. Cook until the sauce has thickened, about 20 minutes.

• Serve in bowls. Or, if serving as a sandwich, split the rolls in half lengthwise. Hollow out the bread from the bottom side of each roll, being careful not to puncture the crust. Fill the bottom half of the roll with sausage mixture. Top and serve sandwiches immediately.
