This dish proves once more that the simple things in live can give us great pleasure. Unfortunately, it can also proof that even the simplest thing can easily be screwed up.
I have never ordered this in an Italian restaurant, but I remember well that Maria used to order it often and that half the time when the food arrived she was bitterly disappointed by the lackluster mess which was set in front of her.
It is my humble opinion that if a chef feels that to serve such a simple dish is below his or her culinary honor and dignity, he/she should just leave it off the menu. But, if one decides to feature it on ones menu, one might as well does ones best !
(To see what I mean, pls click on this link and see what some folks deem good enough to serve in their restaurant or on their dinner table – while there are of course praiseworthy exceptions, the majority looks like the disappointing stuff I remember Maria got served too many times) 😦
As for the all-important taste, use the best ingredients which are available to you, season and execute with love and you can’t go wrong 🙂
Oops, a bit of venting here, so let’s get back to the task at hand, which is to show you how I like to prepare Italian-Style Sausage and Peppers. If done right, and with love and gusto, it is like so many simple dishes – a pleasure to look at, and most of all, a pleasure to eat.
It will be equally gratifying when served with pasta, rice, potatoes or just a hearty sour dough bread.

Hi Chef Hans:
This is right down my alley, being Italian, this is close to a dish we have prepared in
the past “Italian Sausage Calbraze” Recipe almost identical as your dish, both are
fantastic, with a nice glass of Chianti always compliments any Italian meal. This may
be too zesty/spicy for Bella, I’m sure you have other goodies in the Frig., to tempt her
Palate. All the best – Your friends in Texas John & Elli

Hi John,
Glad you like it.
Bella loves spicy, so I always give her her share 🙂
Some dogs cannot take spices, she does 🙂
Best regards to Elli.
Cheers !
