My latest recipe comes from my own mother’s recipebox. Literally, that’s where I found it, in her recipebox. It’s a good simple Italian side dish she often made alongside a big pan of lasagna. I can remember the smell well. I think she got the recipe from my father’s mother when they were first married, I could tell by the age of the card. I felt like I was holding something sacred, something that held so much value I had to handle it very carefully. I’m not exaggerating, I was a bit nervous that I’d lose it or cause it to tear being buried under a pile of papers on my desk. But alas, I took good care of this little treasure and returned it safe and sound.
I however have made one change to the recipe, instead of using pork sausage, I use chicken sausage. Try to get some that have good Italian seasonings (like mozzerella and garlic) which will taste good with onions and green peppers. Peel off the skin if you can, it will help cut down on the fat. Do not and I repeat do not buy any with sodium nitrates. Simply look at the ingredients and look towards the end of the list… there you will see it or not. If you cannot find a brand without this cancer causing trash which should be outlawed, complain to the store. We get ours at Costco where there are more varieties and the price is better for the quantity.
You can get the full recipe for our quick and simple Italian Peppers and Sausage recipe on my website along with a number of other recipes.
Thanks mom for the recipe!
