Some dishes just feel like home. Whether it’s a meal that reminds you of Sunday dinners with family or a timeless Italian classic that satisfies every craving, Sausage & Peppers is one of those comfort foods that never goes out of style.
At Balagio Restaurant in Homewood, we’ve perfected this dish with mild Italian sausage and sautéed peppers, bringing together bold flavors in a simple yet unforgettable way.
The Heart of the Dish: Authentic Italian Sausage
Great Sausage & Peppers starts with quality Italian sausage—and at Balagio, we don’t cut corners. Our mild Italian sausage is crafted with the perfect blend of:
✔ Pork and select herbs – Ensuring a juicy, flavorful bite every time.
✔ Fennel & garlic – Adding that unmistakable classic Italian taste.
✔ A hint of spice – Just enough to bring warmth without overpowering.
The Perfect Pairing: Sautéed Peppers
Complementing the richness of the sausage, our sautéed peppers add vibrant color and fresh, sweet flavor. We use a mix of:
- Red bell peppers – Naturally sweet with a slight smoky undertone.
- Yellow bell peppers – Adding a mellow, honey-like touch.
- Green bell peppers – Providing a slight bite and earthy depth.
Slowly cooked in olive oil and a light garlic-infused sauce, these peppers soak up all the savory juices from the sausage, creating a combination that’s both rustic and refined.
Enjoy It Your Way
