Equipment

Large skillet preferably with a lid
Spatula

Ingredients

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
4-5 Italian sausage links sweet or hot sausages
1 large yellow onion sliced into ¼-inch half-moons
1 green bell pepper sliced into 3-inch strips
1 red bell pepper sliced into 3-inch strips
1 additional bell pepper yellow, orange, or purple, sliced into 3-inch strips
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp minced garlic
½ cup chicken broth
1 15 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 tbsp dried oregano

Instructions

Brown the Sausages:

Heat olive oil in a large lidded pan over medium heat.
Add the sausage links and cook gently, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides.
Reduce the heat if they sizzle too quickly.
Remove sausages and set aside.

Sauté the Veggies:

Increase the heat to high and add the sliced onions and peppers to the pan, tossing to coat with the oil.
Sear them, stirring occasionally with a spatula or wooden spoon, until they begin to soften and develop some charred spots, and season with salt.

Add Garlic and Deglaze:

Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Pour in the chicken broth and use a spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom.
Let the broth reduce by half.

Simmer:

Stir in the crushed tomatoes and oregano.
Return the sausages to the pan.
Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes, until the peppers are tender and the sausages are fully cooked.

Serve:

Enjoy as-is, or serve over pasta, cauliflower rice, regular rice, or mashed potatoes.
