Sausage and Peppers

🔥 Prep

• Slice the 4 sausages into 1/2‑inch thick rounds.
• Core and slice the 3 bell peppers into 1‑inch strips.
• Peel and slice the 1 onion into thin half‑rings.
• Measure out 2 tbsp olive oil and have ready.

🔥 Cook

• 1. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
• 2. Add the sliced sausages and sear for 4‑5 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides.
• 3. Transfer the browned sausages to a plate and set aside.
• 4. Reduce heat to medium, add the sliced bell peppers and onion to the same skillet.
• 5. Sauté the vegetables for 6‑8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and develop caramelized edges.
• 6. Return the sausages to the skillet, spreading them evenly among the peppers and onions.
• 7. Lower heat to low, cover the skillet, and let everything simmer for 10‑12 minutes to allow flavors to meld, stirring once halfway through.
• 8. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed (optional).

🔥 Serve

• Transfer the sausage and peppers mixture to a serving platter or shallow bowl.
• Garnish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley or basil for brightness, if desired.
• Serve hot with crusty Italian bread, over cooked pasta, or alongside creamy polenta.
