Guest guest Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Remember on The Sopranos how the old guys sometimes ordered egg and pepper sandwiches? It's a Sicilian thing, and it's fairly fast, super-easy and really, really good. 'Fact, I think it's one of the world's best sandwiches. Sorry, vegans, egg substitutes won't work here. -Begin Recipe Export- QBook version 1.00.14 Title: SICILIAN EGG AND PEPPER SANDWICH Keywords: sandwiches, eggs, comfort food Two or three sweet frying peppers-- banana (non-hot kind), Cubanelle, or Italian type. (Only use a bell pepper if you can't easily get anything else.) One or two cloves garlic Half a medium-small onion 2 eggs (cage-free if you can) Canned marinara or spaghetti sauce Salt and pepper about 2 Tbsp. olive oil Pizza-type red pepper flakes (optional but good!) Quarter the peppers lengthwise and remove seeds (or if using bell pepper, cut in strips.) Slice the onions, don't chop them. Split the garlic clove(s). Heat oil in a small skillet with a cover over high heat. .Fry the garlic for only about a minute--just till the oil is really fragrant with it. Remove garlic so it doesn't get bitter, and add peppers and onion. After cooking over high heat for about three minutes, stirring frequently, lower the heat to medium, and cover the pan. Fry, stirring every couple of minutes, till they're both very soft. (Keeping the lid on most of the time is so that the veggies sorta steam as well as frying.) The onions may start to color. Remove veggies to a bowl. Fry the eggs any way you like, just not runny. Salt and pepper them to taste. Split a big Italian roll or lay out some dense-textured bread. (Wimpy store-type white bread falls apart. Put the eggs on it and pile on the fried veggies. Spoon sauce over that--but not so much that you can't taste anything but sauce. Sprinkle with pepper flakes if desired. Serves one; eat it before it gets cold. -End Recipe Export- Rain @@@@ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
