👉 Ingredients
➡️For the Dish:
4 Italian sausages (mild or spicy, as preferred)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 large onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
¼ cup chicken broth or water
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Italian rolls or pasta (optional, for serving)
👉 Directions
1. Brown the Sausages
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the sausages and cook until browned on all sides, about 8–10 minutes.
Remove and set aside.
2. Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the bell peppers and onions.
Sauté for 5–7 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.
3. Add Aromatics
Stir in garlic, oregano, basil, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using).
Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Deglaze the Pan
Pour in the chicken broth or water to deglaze, scraping up the browned bits for extra flavor.
Reduce the heat to low.
5. Simmer Everything Together
Return the sausages to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 10–12 minutes until fully cooked and tender.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
6. Garnish & Serve
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Enjoy on Italian rolls for sandwiches or over pasta for a hearty meal!
💡 Pro Tip
For extra flavor, splash in a bit of dry white wine or balsamic vinegar while deglazing the pan — it adds a beautiful depth to the sauce. 🍷
