ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS STIR FRY



Italian Sausage and Peppers Stir Fry image

You can cook it with hot Italian sausages as in the directions below or you can make it with mild or sweet sausages. If you do, you may want to omit the peppers and add either a touch of honey, syrup, or brown sugar, and sliced tart apples . Either way, I think I'd keep the onions...but that's a personal choice. You can also add chili flakes or parsley or any herb/spice that suits your tastes. If you want to serve it over pasta, you can add a can or two of spaghetti sauce and slice the sausauges before frying. This recipe is so versatile, you can't go wrong.

  • Use a large skillet: This will give the ingredients plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Cook the sausage and zucchini in batches if necessary: If your skillet is not large enough to cook all of the ingredients at once, cook them in batches. This will prevent the ingredients from steaming instead of frying.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little extra heat.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot and fresh from the skillet.
