A classic dish combining savory Italian sausage with sweet bell peppers and onions, creating a symphony of flavors that is both satisfying and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, depending on preference)
2 large bell peppers (red, green, or a mix for color), sliced
1 large onion, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients: Begin by slicing the bell peppers and onion into thin strips. Aim for uniform slices to ensure even cooking. Mince the garlic and set all the vegetables aside.
Cook the sausage: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage links to the skillet. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the sausage is browned and cooked through. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Add flavor: Once the vegetables are soft, add the minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Combine: Slice the cooked sausages into bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to combine and heat everything through for about 2-3 minutes.
Serve: Remove from heat and serve the Simple Sausage, Peppers, and Onions Meal hot. Enjoy it on a roll for a hearty sandwich or over rice.
