Great recipe. We enjoyed it, even with the tomatoes! Why do people feel that they have to mention that they are of Italian Decent, then critisize the recipe? Beckie Clemetson never said she was Italian and this is how it's done!

I agree with salliegadden. So WHAT if you have never heard of making sausage and peppers with tomatoes! So??? Why be so critical? If you don't want to add tomatoes, then don't!!!!

I make something very similar to this & everyone loves it! Just because you don't want tomatoes in "Italian" cooking, does not mean that no one else will like the recipe. It just says Italian Sausage with peppers, not Italian cooking. I think everyone should give it a chance before pre-judging the tastes.<\/p>","CommentId":13,"DateRated":"07\/19\/2012 17:17","GUID":"39f64fcd053e4c6890a8c3534640d880","MemberId":1293730,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"salliegadden","SubmittedDate":"07\/19\/2012 17:17"},{"Comment":"

I have never heard of using tomatoes in the Sausage and Peppers dish. When I make it I use a tablespoon of capers, a dash of balsamic vinegar or a dash of left over red wine and three colors of bell peppers (green, red, and yellow). With the colorful peppers and the onions and the sausage it makes a very pretty presentation at the table.<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"07\/19\/2012 15:52","GUID":"AE300115332E62BC93F8E4D3718A6D5F","MemberId":123279,"Rating":3,"ScreenName":"batahir","SubmittedDate":"07\/19\/2012 15:52"},{"Comment":"

I've been making a recipe similar to this for many years. My SIL is Italian, and whether you use tomatoes in the recipe or not is entirely regional, according to him. I am Spanish, and I can attest to the wide variety of dishes that vary in preparation according to region. Tomatoes or no tomatoes (I also use a little wine in this), this is so tasty, I do recommend trying it!<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"07\/19\/2012 15:06","GUID":"B510FBF49BB9446584DAF9A51A5F5242","MemberId":944314,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"xicota","SubmittedDate":"07\/19\/2012 15:06"},{"Comment":"

I used turkey Italian sausages, just because I prefer them over pork and it was very tasty. The spices complimented the peppers & onions nicely. I did add some low fat cheese...yum.

I have to agree with geeclark! I too have been cooking in an Italian household since marrying my husband 25yrs ago and I learned from my Italian MIL and she NEVER made sausages and peppers with tomatoes! Just peppers and onions sauted in the best olive oil with a little salt and pepper. I do like the idea of adding garlic and the different spices so I will be giving that a try.<\/p>","CommentId":20,"DateRated":"07\/19\/2012 11:43","GUID":"b15418b5d0514c52bb4265d108e2d169","MemberId":2353762,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"jr1849","SubmittedDate":"07\/19\/2012 11:43"},{"Comment":"

While I have been cooking in an Italian household most of my 40 years I have never heard of "sausage and Peppers" made with tomatoes.

There is a huge amount of sodium in this recipe. Leaving out the salt and using low or no sodium canned tomatoes and tomato sauce\/paste would lower the sodium count considerably and doesn't really compromise taste.

Hungarian wax peppers look like banana peppers but are a variety of hot chili peppers, They are long and green and have a real bite.
