Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links Italian sausage (mild or hot)
- 3 medium Bell peppers (any color, sliced)
- 1 large Yellow onion (sliced)
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat for 1-2 minutes.
Add the sausage links to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until browned but not fully cooked through. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Slice the partially cooked sausage links into bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet with the vegetables.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Stir everything together.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausages are fully cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley on top for garnish.
Serve hot as is, or over rice, pasta, or crusty bread for a hearty meal.
