If you're like me, you've tried, and loved, an occasional Sausage and Peppers. That classic Italian delight sold at the local pizza place, homemade, or of course, at a summer street fair in New York City.
But now, as I'm older and more health-wise, I tend to pass on Sausage and Peppers made the traditional way...grilled or fried pork sausage, smothered with onions and peppers that have been fried, and stuffed into Italian bread.
So, I came up with this healthier version, and believe me, it tastes Yumm-O!
I came across Thin & Trim brand, All-Natural Chicken Sausage at the market! I purchased the Italian style, put a touch of olive oil on them, and roasted them in the oven!
I made the peppers (red bell peppers) and onions by simply sauteing them in a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. And, yes, there is a difference between sauteing and frying!
Sauteing is healthier!
Lastly, instead of Italian bread, I used a whole wheat wrap that I crisped-up stove top.
I hope you give this healthier version of Italian Sausage and Peppers a try!
If you've made a healthier version of your favorite food and want me to post it here, just drop me an e-mail!
Ciao for now, Gina D.
