NY Style Franks w/ Peppers & Onion

4 premium skin-on Frankfurters; Boar's Head or Continental Sausage suggested
1-2 TBS olive or canola oil
1 large yellow onion; peeled, split and sliced
1 med green bell pepper, sliced
1 medium red or yellow bell pepper, sliced
pinches of fine sea salt and ground pepper
1 tsp Italian herb medley, or 1 TBS fresh herbs
4 fresh rolls
Aged Provolone, Asiago or Parmigiano Reggiano cheese - grated

Choose real frankfurters with natural casings – do not pierce skin. Preheat medium grill, place a heavy skillet on one side of the grill and preheat.

Add oil to preheated pan along with onions and stir fry to soften. Add frankfurters to the other side of the grill and grill with direct heat to brown and heat through, but do not overcook until they crack open or explode.

Add peppers to the pan, season lightly with salt, pepper and herbs and continue to cook until crisp tender. Toast buns if desired.

Serve franks on buns topped with peppers and onions with a sprinkle of cheese. Serves 2-4
