Sausage and Peppers Kabobs with Garlic Aioli
Sausage and peppers, that classic Italian-American dish. Sometimes it’s a sandwich, sometimes it’s in red sauce with pasta. Delicious but, it’s been done to death. My Sausage & Peppers Kabobs are grilled for a new fresh flavor. Skip the marinara, and try an easy garlic aioli. Served with a fresh salad and maybe some warm, crusty bread, and you have the 2020 version of an old classic comfort dish.
