Instructions:
1. Sear the Sausages
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the Italian sausages and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until browned. Remove the sausages and set aside (they don’t need to be fully cooked yet).
2. Sauté the Vegetables
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add sliced peppers and onions to the skillet, and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Cook over medium heat for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and slightly caramelized.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
3. Simmer with Sausage
- Return the sausages to the skillet with the peppers and onions.
- Pour in the chicken broth and tomato sauce (if using) and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
- Cover and let simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes, until sausages are cooked through and flavors meld together.
4. Serve and Enjoy
- Serve hot over a bed of pasta, polenta, or rice. Or, for a classic touch, place the sausage, peppers, and onions in a hoagie roll.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley for extra color and flavor.
Tips:
- Switch Up the Sausages: Try using different sausage flavors (mild, spicy, or even turkey sausage).
- Extra Flavor Options: Add sliced mushrooms or a splash of red wine while simmering for even more depth.
- Meal Prep Friendly: This dish reheats beautifully, so make a big batch and enjoy leftovers!
