Description: Sausage and Peppers
Ingredients:
- Italian Sausage: Sweet Italian sausage is perfect for this top-rated recipe. To turn up the heat a bit, try using half hot Italian sausage.
- Butter: Two tablespoons of butter is all you'll need to sauté the veggies. Of course, you could substitute olive oil if you prefer.
- Onions: Slice one yellow onion and half of one red onion. If you prefer a milder flavor, just use one and a half yellow onions.
- Garlic: Mince four cloves of fresh garlic to add to the vegetable mixture for authentic Italian flavor.
- Bell Peppers: Slice one red pepper and one green bell pepper.
- Spices and Seasonings: This sausage and peppers recipe is simply seasoned with dried basil and dried oregano.
- Wine: Opt for a dry white wine such as pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc. If you don't have any wine on hand, reviewers say they've had success substituting with chicken broth or beer.
Steps:
- Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until brown on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from skillet, and slice.
- Melt butter in the same skillet. Stir in onions and garlic, and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in bell peppers, season with basil and oregano, and stir in 1/4 cup wine. Continue to cook and stir until peppers and onions are tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Return sausage slices to the skillet. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 15 minutes, or until sausage is heated through, adding more wine if needed.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
