For the Rub
- 22 pounds Italian sausage
- 2-3 TBS olive oil
- 2 sweet onions, cut into strips
- 4 bell peppers cut into strips
- 3 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 1/2 glass red wine
- pepper and Basil/Italian Spices to taste
- 1-2 cans Italian tomatoes
Directions
In a large, heavy frying or sauté pan, brown Italian sausages in 1 TBS olive oil -- remove and reserve. Add 1-2 more TBS olive oil, onions, pepper and garlic and sauté until soft, about 10 minutes. Add back Italian sausage, splash with red wine and reduce until almost gone.
Add 1-2 cans of tomatoes and their juice, seasoning with Italian herbs as desired. Cover partially and reduce to a simmer, stirring occasionally until sausages are done and sauce is thick, about 10 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning. If sauce is too thick, thin with water or red wine -- too thin, uncover and reduce.
