Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Slice the Italian sausage links into 1-inch thick pieces. Set aside.
Wash and core the bell peppers. Slice them into thin strips. Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the sliced sausage to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced onions and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the peppers are tender but still slightly crisp.
Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Return the browned sausage to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sausage to heat through.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Serve hot as is, or pair with crusty bread, pasta, or rice for a complete meal.
