Italian Sausage Burgers with
Green Peppers, Onions and Bocconcini

2 lb (1 kg) Italian sausage
3 tbsp (45 mL) olive oil
2 green peppers, sliced
1 large sweet onion, sliced
1 tsp (5 mL) dried fennel seeds
1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
1/2 tsp (2 mL) black pepper
1 tbsp (15 mL) Il Torrione Balsamic Cream
1 tub (200 g) Tre Stelle mini mini Bocconcini, drained and sliced in halves
6 crusty Italian rolls

Remove casing from sausage and form into 6 patties approximately 1/2” thick. Refrigerate until ready to grill. In a medium skillet add olive oil, peppers, onion, fennel seeds and salt and pepper.

Cook on medium-low heat until vegetables are soft and begin to caramelize, approximately 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and add balsamic cream.

Preheat barbeque or indoor grill. Cook burgers approximately 3-5 minutes per side or until cooked through. Remove from grill and place a burger into each Italian roll, top equally with pepper, onion mixture and bocconcini halves. Return to grill if desired to warm bread and melt cheese.
