Title: Sausage Smash Burgers
Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Herbs, Breads
Yield: 4 servings

1 lb Italian pork sausage; mild
- or hot
2 tb + 2 ts oil; more as needed
2 sm Yellow, orange or red bell
Peppers; halved, stemmed,
Thin sliced
1/2 lg Onion; thin sliced from root
To stem
2 cl Garlic; thin sliced
Salt & pepper
2 ts Red or white wine vinegar
1/2 c Mayonnaise
4 Brioche or burger buns;
Split, lightly toasted
2 tb Fresh oregano leaves

Form the sausage into 4 roughly shaped spheres and set
aside.

In a large skillet, preferably cast-iron, heat 2
tablespoons of oil over medium-high. Add the peppers,
onion and garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook,
stirring frequently, until softened, 6 to 8 minutes.
(Cook in batches, if the pan seems crowded.) Transfer to
a medium bowl, add the vinegar, toss and season with
salt and pepper, to taste.

Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the same skillet
and heat on high. Once very hot, add 2 sausage portions
to the pan, then smash them down with a spatula or metal
press into 1/2" thick patties. Cook, undisturbed, until
deeply browned and caramelized on the bottom, about 2
minutes, then flip over and cook until just cooked
through, 1 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat
with the remaining sausage, adding more oil if
necessary.

While the burgers are cooking, spread the mayonnaise on
the inside of each piece of brioche, and, if using,
sprinkle the oregano over. Top bottom buns with sausage
patties, sautéed peppers and onions, then top buns, and
serve.
