Sausage and Peppers
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
- 1 Package sweet Italian sausage links, each link sliced in half lengthwise
- 2 Bell peppers, any color, stemmed, seeded, and sliced lengthwise into slices about 1/3 inch thick
- 1 Large yellow onion, sliced lengthwise into slices about 1/3 inch thick
- 3 Garlic cloves, chopped small
- ¼ Teaspoon anise seed
- 1 1/2 Teaspoons dried oregano
- ¼ Cup white wine or low sodium chicken broth
- Sea salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Part one: In a pan over medium-high heat, heat the EVOO until it shimmers. Add the onion and bell peppers and cook until the peppers get a hint of brown on the edges. Add a pinch of ground black pepper and 2 pinches salt and the garlic and cook for another minute, reducing the heat to medium and stirring frequently.
- Part two: Add the sausages to the pan, moving the peppers and onions to the outside edges of the pan to keep them from over browning.
- Part three: Add oregano, anise and wine/broth and cook until the sausages reach an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees F and the wine/broth has reduced by half. Serve immediately.
- Serving suggestion: Enjoy served with or on a roll, topped with a little shredded or sliced provolone.
- Tiny chefs at home? They can help:

Notes:
·This recipe can be prepared ahead and frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months, just thaw completely and then cook in a slow cooker on low heat for about 4 hours.
·The anise may be omitted if your palate is sensitive to that flavor.
