Griddle 101: Upgrade Your Sausage Peppers and Onions
|
Italian Patty Melt Hello Friends, I had a viewer comment on a video that they were doing smashed Italian sausages just like smash burgers. I gave it a try and boy it did not dissapoint. I used some Aunt Millies Italian bread and made a little sauce for the peppers and onions mixture. This one is definetly in the top101 griddle recipes and you should try it. Also, I know it's cold right now, so you could easily do this in a large cast iron pan inside if you got one. 3 TipsSmash or Not To SmashWhen smashing I had problems with the sausage sticking to my press. I did use parchment and I even heated up the press. I don't know if this is because of all the fat in the sausage, or maybe because it was cold outside. Either way, next time I will try just making the sausage into oval patties. Cook Veggies in DrippingsI was trying my best to time this out so everything finished at the same time. However, I also wanted the veggies to cook in the drippings from the suasage. So I put the veggies down first in some oil to get them started, then immediatly smashed the sausage. After it cook for about one minute I flipped the sausage to a different part of the griddle and moved the veggies into the drippings. If I would have smashed the sausage first, then put the veggies down I think the sausage would have finished early and got cold or dried out while I still waited on my veggies. Sweet and SourAdding some vinegar and sugar to the veggies right at the end is fantastic. I saw Adam Regusea do this with some Italian Sausages that he did with Polenta, and I had to try it. I feel like it really put this sandwich over the top. It creates a kind of sweet and sour sauce which makes it different from the marinara I put on my Italian Sausage Hoagie. Here is a link to the recipe on my website. I'm going to be trying to put all the 101 best recipes on the website as I complete them. https://www.johnnybrunet.com/patty-melt-italian-style-on-a-griddle/ Thank you so much for reading and I hope you are staying warm and safe. We just got dumped on with snow in Ohio, so I'm dreaming about spring time and griddling on the back patio. Hopefully this recipe is something that you can do on the stove to hold you over until warmer weather. Watch My Video: "It ain't about how hard you hit.
