Sausage and Peppers

Sausage and Peppers

My Italian fix. That is what I call this. All full of good Italian treats. Italian sausage, Italian seasoning, cheese, basil, all mixed together to create gorgeous Italian smells and aromas to fill the house!

This I had with gluten free pasta, but you can have rice, polenta, chips or salad even. It is so delicious that even the die hard gluten people will not be able to resist.

So sit back with your glass of wine, gluten free garlic bread or garlic balls, corn bread, or what ever you fancy to go with it and have a taste of Italy in your own dining room!

Sausage and Peppers

4 gluten-free Italian sausage

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large yellow or white onion, cut in half and then thinly sliced

3 bell peppers – red, yellow green or a combination, seeded and cut into strips

2 cloves garlic, minced or grated

tablespoon dried Italian seasoning

½ cup gluten-free tomato sauce or dry white wine

Salt & Pepper to taste

Handful Italian parsley, chopped – for garnish

Parmesan Cheese, grated – optional

Directions

Remove the casings from the Italian sausages and cut or tear into 1 inch pieces.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the sausage pieces until browned on all sides, stirring to ensure proper browning. This may take 5 or 6 minutes. Remove the sausage pieces and set aside.

Add the onions to the pan, stirring to coat with the oil. Season with a few pinches of salt and a little pepper. Cook until the onions have started caramelizing and softening, about 15 minutes. Add the sliced peppers, garlic and Italian seasoning and cook until the peppers soften, about 5 minutes or so.

Return the peppers to the pan add the chicken broth, tomato sauce or wine and cook until the peppers have heated through and the liquid has reduced, about 5 minutes or more. Adjust seasoning with some more salt and pepper if needed.

Enjoy!
