What is Ghiotta?
Pronounced /GYOH-tah/
Definition
Ghiotta is a Sicilian braise of tomato, olives, capers, celery, and onion used for fish and vegetables.
It shares DNA with caponata but stays saucy rather than becoming a relish.
Swordfish alla ghiotta is the dish most people meet it in.

Quick answer
How do you cook sausage and peppers in the oven?
Roast sausage and peppers at 400°F (205°C) for 35 to 40 minutes on a single sheet pan. Toss the peppers and onions with olive oil and salt, nestle whole sausages on top, turn everything once at 20 minutes, and finish when the sausage reads 160°F.
