Sausage and Peppers
Quick and Easy dinner recipe that will bring the sausage and peppers from the Italian feasts into your own kitchen!
Ingredients
- 1 lb sweet italian sausage sliced along the middle and flattened
- 1 cubanelle pepper rough chopped
- 1 red pepper rough chopped
- 1 green pepper rough chopped
- 1 sweet onion diced
- 3 garlic cloves smashed
- 1-2 tbsp tomato paste
- dried oregano
- dried basil
- salt & pepper
- knob of butter
- olive oil
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by prepping your veggies - chop your onions and peppers, smash your garlic, and slice open your sausage and flatten them out.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and allow to heat up.
- Once heated, add sausage, cut side first, to the pan and cook till brown on both sides. The sausage doesn't have to be cooked through yet because you will be adding it again later and steaming it. Once brown, remove and set aside.
- To the same pan add a dash more oil, the cut vegetables and season lightly with salt (because sausage is salty), pepper, basil, and oregano. Sautee until softened.
- While the vegetables are cooking, slice the sausage into cubes or slivers, it depends on how YOU like your sausage (that sounded inappropriate haha!)
- Add tomato paste to the center and a knob of butter. Stir in till fully incorporated and then toss in your cut sausage and all its juices to your pan.
- Cover with a lid and let the sausage cook through and the vegetables soften, roughly about 5-10 minutes.
- Eat just like that, or add it to a hero for a sandwich, OR boil some pasta and toss the pasta directly into the pan for a sausage and pepper pasta! Dealers choice!
