Sausage & Peppers Ingredients • 2 Tbsp. olive oil • 4-5 (sweet or hot) Italian sausage links • 1 large yellow onion, sliced • 3 bell peppers, any color, sliced into strips • 2 garlic cloves, minced • ½ cup red cooking wine • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning • ¼ tsp. red pepper flakes, crushed Directions 1 Poke each sausage a few times with a paring knife or fork (this helps release steam as they cook). 2 In a large skillet with a lid, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add sausages and brown gently and slowly. Cook for 5 minutes, turning occasionally to gently brown on all sides. (They should not be fully cooked.) 3 Once browned, remove sausages to a plate. Set aside. 4 Increase heat to high. Add onion and pepper slices. Toss to coat in oil and sear vegetables until slightly blackened, stirring often. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute. 5 Add red cooking wine scraping bottom of pan with a wooden spoon to release blackened bits. Simmer wine until reduced by half. 6 Add Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine. 7 Add sausages. Bring to a simmer and then reduce the heat to low. 8 Cover and simmer until peppers are soft and sausages are cooked through, about 10 minutes. @FoodAndRecipesWithCherokee 🦉
