Scale
Gather these simple ingredients, and you’re on your way to creating a meal that’s as delightful to eat as it is to prepare:
- 1 pound of your favorite sausage (pork, chicken, or turkey work well)
- 3 bell peppers, assorted colors, sliced
- 1 large onion, sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a bit of spice)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Feel free to substitute with what you have. Zucchini or mushrooms can easily join the mix, and if you’re out of oregano, thyme or Italian seasoning can also do the trick.
Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Here’s how to bring this dish to life:
- Start by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. My mom always said that a good skillet is the heart of a kitchen, and this recipe proves her right.
- Add the sausage to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the onions and garlic, stirring until fragrant, about 2 minutes. I love how the aroma fills the kitchen, reminding me of those days standing on a chair next to my dad.
- Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
- Return the sausage to the skillet, mixing everything together. Sprinkle with oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
- Continue to cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve hot.
And there you have it—a delicious meal ready in under 30 minutes!
