Introduction: Warm piadina filled with grilled sausage and sautéed peppers, a popular street food favourite.

Cultural Background: Piadina stands are a common sight at San Marino’s markets and festivals, and this hearty sausage-filled version is one of the most popular choices for a satisfying street food meal.

Tips: Cook the sausages through fully before slicing and filling. Sauté the peppers and onion until nicely caramelised for the best flavour.

Variations: Add a smear of mustard or a drizzle of hot sauce inside the wrap for extra kick; swap sausage for grilled chicken for a lighter version.

Storage: Best assembled and eaten fresh; components can be stored separately in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Reheating: Reheat the sausage and vegetable filling in a pan, and warm the piadina briefly on a griddle before assembling.
