Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian sausage links mild or hot
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup yellow onion sliced
- 1 cup red onion sliced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 green bell pepper sliced
- ½ tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp water
- ¼ cup parsley fresh and chopped
Instructions
- Heat skillet over medium+ heat. Then, add the uncooked sausage links. Brown the sausage links for about 2-3 minutes on all the sides.
- The sausage will not be cooked through, but remove the sausages from the skillet. Place sausage on a cutting board. Slice the sausage links into 4-5 diagonal pieces and drape tin foil over them. Set aside.
- Next, add 1 tbsp olive oil to the skillet (still over medium). Add the onions and bell peppers in the same skillet and saute for 2-3 minutes.
- When peppers and onions have started to soften add the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and red flakes. Continue stirring the peppers and onions for about 3 minutes.
- Pour balsamic vinegar and water into the skillet with the peppers and onions, and scrape the bottom of the skillet to release all the brown bits.
- Put the slices of sausage pieces back into the skillet, stir and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover to cook through for about 10 minutes.
- Then, uncover the skillet and increase the heat to medium. Cook for 3 more minutes or just until the liquid is evaporated and the sausage is cooked completely.
- Top with fresh chopped parsley and serve.
