There are a few questionable words and phrases floating around my family. Let's say my Mom (that really is my Mom, amazing huh?!?) Anyways, let's say she dropped a glass of water, you'd hear "son of a cock-a-datch" and within the past few years she's added "sa-bash-tcha". For a great angry Italian sounding swear word- Sonofacockadatch, Sabashtcha; I think it says it all.
This is a ridiculously easy rustic dish and can be eaten in a variety of ways. You can make a sandwich with the sausage, pepper, onion mix, serve over warm polenta or as is. Make sure to get a variety of colored peppers, yellow, red and green; the colors together are really fabulous.
update: I've obtained the correct spelling and meaning from the big man, Papa Palladino; my Mom also sent the real family recipe (the unveggie kind).
Ingredients:
12 cloves garlic - whole, peeled
4 assorted peppers, red, yellow, green, orange
1 really large or 2 med onions, sliced
1-2 potatoes, partially peeled, cut into chunks
2 Tbsp melted coconut oil
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
Basil - couple of shakes
Oregano - couple of shakes
4 Vegetarian Sausage of your choice (Italian type is perfect)
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
In a large bowl, combine garlic, peppers, onion and potatoes. Pour melted coconut oil into bowl, add salt and pepper, tossing to coat.
Pour veggie mixture onto a cookie sheet and sprinkle with basil and oregano. Cook for 20 minutes, tossing veggies around mid-way through.
Pull veggie sheet out and add sausage, stirring veggies around with sausage. Cook until brown (about 20-25 minutes) stirring veggies and turning sausage midway through. Tip: if you like your sausage really browned; when your veggies are done, finish off the sausage in the broiler.
As we say, Gah-Bless and Mangia!
