Creamy Horseradish-Mustard Dressing

3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon sea or regular salt
1/4 teaspoon ground smoky paprika
Filing and Bread
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
16 ounces turkey kovbasa (in two 8-once sections, slices into 1/4 thick diagonal slices
1 piece small Vidalia onion, thinly sliced
16 ounces marinated sweet cherry peppers
16 ounces roasted bell peppers from jar, drained, divided

1
In a small bowl, mix all of the Creamy Horseradish-Mustard Dressing ingredients until well blended. Cover and chill until needed.
2
Lightly grease with 1 teaspoon olive oil, a large, heavy skillet saucepan set over medium heat. Add the kovbasa and saute until medium-browned on both sides, about 6 minutes. Remove, cover and set aside.
3
Add remaining olive oil to the saucepan. Stir in the chopped onions and saute until tender and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in 8 ounces thinly sliced sweet cherry peppers, 4 ounces diced roasted bell peppers, 4 ounces thinly sliced peperoncini, and grated carrots. Continue sauteing vegetables another 3 minutes.
4
Stir in the sauerkraut, apple juice, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, mixing to blend well. Add in the kovbasa slices. Mix, cover pan with lid and saute about 15-20 minutes.
5
Add in 2 tablespoons horseradish and 3 tablespoons mustard. Stir well and saute another 3 minutes. Add in the cream, blend and cook about 1 minute. Do not boil cream. Remove from heat. Set aside.
6
To assemble sandwiches, dress each of the 8 slices of bread with about 1-1 1/2 tablespoons Creamy Horseradish-Mustard Dressing, to taste.
7
Place some roasted red peppers over 4 of the slices. Top each evenly with 1/4 of the kovbasa-vegetable mixture. Top with another layer of roasted red peppers. Cover with remaining dressed pumpernickel slice.
8
Place sandwiches on serving plates. Garnish with an optional side of marinated gardiniera salad, peppers or dill pickles.
