Although your traditional sausage, peppers, and onions sandwich may not have tomato paste, we like to caramelize a little bit into the mixture for a sweet, saucy, umami-rich hit of flavor.

Ingredients
Makes 3 very shareable subs
Step 1
Cut4 bell peppersand1 poblano chilein half lengthwise. Using your fingers, pull out stems and ribs, then tap out seeds. Slice lengthwise into ¼" strips.
Step 2
Peel3 onionsand cut in half through root end. Cut a V-shaped notch into root to remove. Slice each half into 3 lengthwise wedges.
Step 3
Peel6 garlic clovesand thinly slice.
Step 4
Slice3 rollslengthwise without cutting all the way through (so 2 sides remain attached).
Step 5
Place2 lb. sausages在一个大的直边锅和覆盖cold water just until sausages are submerged. Heat over medium-high and cook, uncovered, just until water reaches a gentle boil, 6–8 minutes. Remove from heat. Transfer sausages (they will be fully cooked) with tongs to a plate; set aside. Dump water from skillet; reserve skillet.
Step 6
While sausages cook, heat2 Tbsp. oilin a large Dutch oven over medium. Add onions and garlic and cook, stirring often, just until onions are beginning to soften, 5–8 minutes.
Step 7
Add bell peppers, chile, and another 1 Tbsp. oil to pot; season generously withsaltandpepper. Stir to combine, then increase heat to medium-high. Cover and cook, uncovering to stir occasionally, until peppers are tender, 10–15 minutes.
Step 8
Create a clearing in the middle of the pot and add2 Tbsp. tomato paste. Stir paste until darkened in color and is sticking to bottom of pot, about 3 minutes.
Step 9
Add⅓ cup vinegarand stir to dissolve paste and combine with peppers and onions. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers and onions are very tender, 8–10 minutes longer. Season with more salt and pepper.
Step 10
Meanwhile, slice sausages in half lengthwise.
Step 11
Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in reserved skillet over medium-high. Add half of sausages cut side down and cook, pressing down to ensure full contact with pan, until cut sides are browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer back to plate and repeat with remaining sausages.

Divide half of peppers and onions mixture among rolls, then arrange seared sausage halves over.

Top with remaining peppers and onion mixture. Cut sandwiches in half crosswise and serve.
