     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.
