Sausage Scallopini Recipe Lidia Food

SAUSAGE, PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Steps:

• 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 oregano, basil, and garlic and cook 2 more minutes.
• Add the tomato paste and stir. Add the Marsala wine, tomatoes, and chili flakes, if using. 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.

MUSHROOM PORK SCALLOPINI

Steps:

• Dredge pork slices in flour. In a large skillet, heat butter and oil. Brown pork on both sides in batches; remove and keep warm. Stir in the wine, water, onion, garlic and seasonings into drippings. Return pork to skillet, layering if necessary. Top with mushrooms., Cover and cook on low heat for 15-20 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Serve with fettuccine.

SAUSAGE SCALOPPINE

Steps:

• Fry sausage over medium heat in large frying pan until when cut, it is just a bit pink in the center.
• Remove sausage from pan and add peppers and onions to the frying pan.
• While onions and peppers are cooking, slice sausage into 1/2 inch rounds.
• Return sausage to pan and add the jar of sauce.
• Stir everything until well combined and let simmer for about 15 minutes or so, allowing sauce to cook down a bit and thicken.
• Serve on Italian rolls or over pasta.

CHICKEN SCARPARIELLO

Steps:

• Coat a large, wide pan with olive oil and bring the pan to a medium-high heat. Add the sausage and brown well. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and reserve.
• Season the chicken generously with salt and add to the pan that the sausage was browned in. Brown the chicken well. Once the chicken is brown on all sides, remove it from the pan and reserve.
• Drain the oil from the pan and return it to the heat. Coat the pan lightly with new olive oil, add the onions, and season with salt. Cook the onions over medium heat until they are translucent and very aromatic, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes.
• Add the wine to the pan and reduce it by half. While the wine is reducing, scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Return the sausage and chicken to the pan and add the cherry peppers, cherry pepper juice, chicken stock, and oregano. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and simmer, partially covered, for 15 minutes. Remove the lid and simmer for 5 more minutes; add more chicken stock if the stock has reduced too much.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning, if needed. The finished dish should be slightly soupy, spicy, and delicious.

MOMMOM FAIELLA'S ITALIAN SAUSAGE SCALLOPINI

Steps:

• Mix all of the above together except the last two ingredients.
• Bring the mixture to a boil.
• Add the 1 teaspoon of sugar and stir in it well.
• Then immediately lower the burner to a simmer with the lid on the pot slightly ajar.
• Cook for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally all of the way to the bottom.
• *If you didn't add enough water from the beginning, you might need to add a little more water during the cooking time - you just have to judge if it looks like it cooked down too much. It should be liquidy, but more on the thick liquid side, not watery.
• When finished cooking, serve it over the cooked rice.

LIDIA'S SAUSAGE & PEPPERS

Steps:

• Poke sausages with a fork. Divide 1/4 cup of olive oil between two large, heavy skillets & heat over medium heat. Divide the sausages between the skillets & cook, until well browned on all sides, about 8 minutes. About halfway through browning the sausages, whack the garlic with the flat side of a knife and toss half the cloves into each skillet. Transfer the browned sausages and garlic to a 13x9 baking dish, leaving the fat behind.
