The Sausage and Peppers Recipe I learned at my FIRST restaurant gig

Published 2022-10-14
This easy-to-make Italian Sausage and Peppers recipe comes together in under 30 minutes and is jam-packed with onions and mushrooms in a marsala sauce. You will love this few-ingredient dish that the entire family will enjoy.

Sausage and Peppers is a classic American-Italian dish consisting of Italian sausage cooked with peppers and onions. It is said to have gained popularity at Italian street festivals in the 1920s for the Feast of San Gennaro.

While there is no original precedent for the exact ingredients in this dish, it has since been altered by all who make it. Nowadays, you will see the sausage and peppers cooked in a red sauce or in a brown sauce, which is what I did. Ingredients such as garlic or mushrooms can be added to the dish as well. It is a fantastic recipe if you are looking for something quick and delicious to serve or need to feed a lot of people at one time.

    That is a really good mid week recipe. I will have to listen to this again
  • I signed up for your channel right away. It is truly fantastic. I just opened a channel dedicated to traditional Italian cuisine. It is very nice to see your recipes and discover cuisines from all over the world. We Italians use few spices and sauces and rely more on technique, our culture is based more on the exaltation of the main ingredient. You are very good

    😂As a Chinese living in the US, just bought bunch of “Italian sausage “ from Costco and don’t know how to deal with it. Your recipe helped a lot. It’s so much fun to learn the different and similarities between the western and eastern culinary. ❤

    I have been intrigued by polenta for years but have neither cooked or tasted it. This is the dinner plan for tonight, hopefully 🤞🏻 I won’t mess it up.

    Excellent recipe!! Chef Billy Parisi, thank you for making this video! It took me much longer than 30 minutes because I do not cook often. It was delicious. I cant wait to use the marsala sauce with veal!
  • I can tell that’s restaurant style like you said with the mushrooms and the added beef stock like that I bet it’s good I’ve never tried doing that
