The absolute best Italian sausage and pepper sandwiches I have ever had
were served by a little place in Santa Barbara some years ago.

One sausage, either from bulk or stripped from the casing, I don't know
which, made into a patty and cooked on the flat-top along with about
half a big green Bell pepper, in one slab, flattened and cooked under
the flat weight thing (probably with bit of grease or oil), and served
on a griddle-warmed Italian roll. That's all. You could get marinara on
the side, but I only tried that once, and never asked for it again.

I've been trying to duplicate it for years, without a lot of success.

But that said, when you're cooking the veggies, try giving them a good
shot of sherry, and then reducing it until it coats the vegetables.
