Servings: 4 -6 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 4-ounce links sweet Italian sausages (or sausage of choice)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 large red bell pepper sliced
- 1 orange bell pepper sliced
- 1 ½ teaspoons fresh thyme finely chopped (1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 ½ teaspoons fresh oregano finely chopped (1 teaspoon dried oregano)
- ¼ cup white wine
- 1 ½ teaspoons fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Place the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, and brown on all sides (the sausages are not cooked all the way in this step they are just browned). Remove from skillet, let cool a bit (5 minutes) and slice into pieces of desired thickness.
- Add olive oil to the skillet. Stir in the onion and garlic, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add bell peppers and stir to combine. Season with thyme and oregano. Add white wine. Continue to cook and stir until peppers and onions are tender with a slight bite (about 5-6 minutes).
- Return sausage slices to the skillet with the onions and peppers. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until sausage is heated through.
Notes
- Slice the peppers and onions into similar-sized strips for even cooking and the best texture.
- Brown the sausages whole until golden on all sides, then slice and return to the skillet to finish cooking. They're done when no longer pink inside or when they reach an internal temp of 160°F.
- You can also slice the sausage before cooking if you prefer browned edges on each piece—just reduce the cook time slightly.
