Instructions

1. Prepare the Roasted Peppers:
   Begin by prepping the peppers. Wash them thoroughly, then place them in a baking tray. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil. Roast them in a preheated static oven at 200°C (392°F) for about 40 minutes, turning occasionally. Once roasted, remove the tray from the oven, cover with plastic wrap, and allow the peppers to cool.

2. Make the Bean Cream:
   While the peppers cool, make the bean cream. Drain the pre-cooked cannellini beans and place them in a high-sided container. Add the lemon juice and a pinch of fine salt. Blend everything together using an immersion blender until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.

3. Prepare the Sausage and Onion Filling:
   Slice the sausage casing open and remove the casing. Heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a pan. Add the finely chopped red onion and sauté for a few minutes until softened. Sprinkle in the sweet paprika and stir. Add the sausage to the pan, breaking it apart, and cook for about 5-6 minutes, or until it is nicely browned and cooked through. Add the white wine to the pan and let it cook off.

4. Prepare the Peppers:
   Peel the roasted peppers once they are cool enough to handle. Cut them into strips and set them aside.

5. Assemble the Piadina:
   Heat one flatbread (piadina) in a pan for 1-2 minutes on each side, turning it at least once to warm through. Once heated, transfer the piadina to a cutting board. In the center of the piadina, spread a tablespoon of the bean cream, add some roasted peppers, and top with the sausage mixture.

6. Wrap the Piadina:
   Fold the sides of the piadina inward toward the center. Then, fold the bottom edge up and tightly roll the piadina into a wrap. Slice the piadina in half and serve warm.

Tips:

• Feel free to adjust the sweetness or spiciness of the sausage by choosing a milder or spicier variety, depending on your preferences.
• The roasted peppers can be made in advance, making this a great option for quick meal prep.
• If you want an extra creamy texture, you can add a tablespoon of ricotta cheese to the bean cream before blending.
