Sausage and peppers is such an easy dish to prepare, especially when you’re coming home tired from a long day at the office. This is my go-to, quick meal when I want a quick and simple meal that’s packed with flavor.
- 6 sausage links (sweet or hot – I prefer hot)
- 3 cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- balsamic vinegar, to taste
- 1 cubano pepper (or red if unavailable)
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
- Heat skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add sausage links.
- Pour enough water to cover half of the links.
- Cook until water evaporates, about 10-15 minutes
- Pierce sausage links with a knife so that its oil ‘oozes’ out
- Brown sausage for about 3 more minutes. I prefer the casing to have a crunch to it.
- Remove sausages and slice into 1/4 inch pieces.
- Add garlic and onions to the pan, and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add the sliced sausage back to the pan and cook for about 3 minutes.
- Add the sliced peppers, cook for another 2 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Optional: Add a splash of balsamic vinegar – it’ll loosen up the yummy goodness on the bottom of the pan
- Serve hot.
