SAUSAGE WITH PEPPERS AND ONIONS



Sausage With Peppers and Onions image

For an easy, hearty dinner (or breakfast or lunch) buy fresh Italian pork fennel sausages, preferably from an Italian deli or butcher. Pair them with quickly stewed peppers and onions, splashed with vinegar, and fried eggs.

Provided by David Tanis

Categories     dinner, weekday, sausages, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 Italian pork fennel sausages, sweet or hot (about 2 pounds)
Extra-virgin olive oil
3 or 4 medium bell peppers, a mix of red and yellow, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
2 medium red onions, sliced into 1/4-inch half-moons
Salt and pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Pinch of crushed red pepper
Pinch of dried oregano
Basil leaves, for garnish
4 large eggs (optional)

Steps:

  • Prick each sausage in several places with a skewer or the tip of paring knife to prevent bursting. Put sausages in one layer in a skillet. Add water to cover and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, then cover, turn off heat and let steep.
  • Place a wide skillet over high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. When oil is hot, add sliced peppers and onions. Season generously with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until softened and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Adjust heat as necessary if mixture seems to be cooking too quickly. Add garlic just at the end, stir to incorporate and cook 1 minute more. Stir in the vinegar.
  • Transfer pepper mixture to a platter. Over medium heat, coat pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil, add sausages and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, to brown. Top pepper mixture with cooked sausages. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper and oregano and garnish with basil leaves.
  • If desired, in the same wide skillet, fry eggs sunny side up in a little olive oil to accompany. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips for Preparing Savory Italian Sausage and Peppers:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful peppers and sweet Italian sausage. Opt for organic or locally sourced ingredients whenever possible.
  • Slice peppers uniformly: This ensures even cooking and a visually appealing dish. If using different types of peppers, slice them similarly for consistent cooking times.
  • Sauté the peppers first: Before adding the sausage, sauté the peppers in olive oil until they begin to soften. This brings out their natural sweetness and enhances their flavor.
  • Brown the sausage thoroughly: Cook the sausage over medium-high heat until it's well-browned and cooked through. This step adds depth of flavor and prevents the sausage from becoming dry.
  • Deglaze the pan with wine: After removing the sausage and peppers from the pan, add a splash of white wine and scrape up any browned bits. This creates a delicious sauce that enhances the overall flavor of the dish.
  • Simmer until the peppers are tender: Return the sausage and peppers to the pan and simmer over low heat until the peppers are tender-crisp. This typically takes 15-20 minutes.
  • Season to taste: Once the sausage and peppers are cooked, season to taste with salt, pepper, and additional herbs or spices, such as oregano, basil, or red pepper flakes.
  • Garnish before serving: For a colorful and flavorful touch, garnish the dish with chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

Conclusion:

Savory Italian sausage and peppers is a classic dish that combines simple ingredients with bold flavors. By following these tips and using high-quality ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that's perfect for any occasion. Whether served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish, this dish is sure to impress your taste buds and leave you craving more.
