Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links Italian sausages
- 3 Bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Begin by prepping the ingredients: thinly slice the bell peppers and the onion. Mince the garlic cloves, and set everything aside.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
3. Add the sausages to the skillet and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked through and browned on all sides. Remove the sausages from the pan and set them aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the sliced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
5. Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Stir well to combine.
6. Cook the peppers and onions for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.
7. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. If you like extra heat, add the crushed red pepper flakes at this point and mix well.
8. Slice the cooked sausages into bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet. Mix everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm the sausages and blend the flavors.
9. Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
10. Serve hot as-is, or pair with crusty bread, pasta, or rice for a complete meal.
