Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links Italian sausages (mild or spicy)
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 1 large Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Red onion
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Once heated, add the sausage links and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.
While the sausages are cooking, core and slice the bell peppers into thin strips. Peel the onion and slice it into thin wedges. Mince the garlic cloves.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly softened.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Sprinkle with dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to combine.
Cook the peppers and onions for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but still slightly crisp.
Meanwhile, slice the browned sausages into 1-inch pieces. Return the sausage pieces to the skillet with the peppers and onions. Stir everything together and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the sausages to heat through and the flavors to meld.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve the sausage, peppers, and onions medley warm as-is, or pair it with crusty bread, rice, or pasta for a complete meal.
