And another (from the site I previously cited):

"What entre did Sinatra prepare with Dinah Shore?

The following recipe appeared on the rec.food.recipes newsgroup:

Frank Sinatra's Sausage and Peppers

From Dinah Shore's "Someone's in the Kitchen with Dinah" television show
(9/9/70)

1 lb. Hot Italian sausage
3 Tbsp. Olive oil
3 green peppers
3/4 cup red wine
Salt and pepper (optional / to taste)

Remove the stems and seeds from peppers can cut into large chucks. In
ovenproof baking dish, that can be used on the top of the stove, saute green
peppers in oil until they begin to soften. Sprinkle with a little salt. Lift
the green peppers out of the dish and set aside. Brown the sausages in the
same baking dish. When browned, add 3 / 4 cup red wine. Cover the pan with
foil and bake the sausages in wine in a 350 degree oven for 40 minutes.
(Ovens vary, so cook until the sausage is no longer pink.)
Uncover and add the sauteed green peppers. Bake for an additional 30 minutes
and serve in the same baking dish. Serves 4."
