Ingredients
Spicy Ale Mustard Sauce
- ½ cup ale I like Guinness or Vanilla Porter, but any dark ale will work, also try non-alcoholic beer if desired
- 3 tablespoons molasses
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- ½-1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 cup spicy brown mustard or Dijon mustard
Sausage and Peppers
- 5 large Italian sausages mild, sweet, or hot or try Chicken Sausage, or use your favorite
- 6-12 mini bell peppers washed, sliced in half and seeded, or use two large bell peppers (color of choice), sliced into 8 slices.
Instructions
Spicy Ale Mustard
- In a small saucepan, stir together the ale, molasses, cumin and red pepper flakes. Be sure to still this together or whisk until molasses is incorporated and dissolved.Bring to a boil on high then reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer until it has reduced by half, about 8 minutes.Remove from heat and stir in the dijon mustard. Set aside until the sausage is ready.
Air Fryer Sausage and Peppers
- Preheat the air fryer to 400° F. (205° C).
- Slice the Italian sausage into 1 inch slices and cut mini peppers in half, seeding and removing stems.
- Working in batches if necessary, arrange the sausage and pepper pieces in a single layer in the fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, shaking halfway through. The peppers will be soft and a meat thermometer will read 165 degrees Fahrenheit when inserted into the sausage.
- Serve warm with a side of the Spicy Ale Mustard or your favorite Marinara sauce or dipping sauce.
