Ingredients
Scale
- 6 links sweet Italian sausage (4 oz / 113 g)
- 1 yellow onion, medium, sliced
- ½ red onion, medium, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, large, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, medium, sliced
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsps (30 mL) butter
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ¼ cup (60 mL) white wine, or more to taste
Instructions
- Sear Sausage: Brown sausage in a large skillet over medium-low heat, rotating to achieve an even golden color. Remove and slice into bite-sized pieces.
- Aromatic Base: In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic and onions until translucent, releasing their fragrant essence.
- Vegetable Infusion: Add bell peppers to the skillet, sprinkle with dried oregano and basil. Pour wine into the mixture, allowing ingredients to simmer and develop rich, complex flavors. Cook until vegetables become tender and slightly caramelized.
- Combine and Simmer: Reintroduce sliced sausage to the skillet, reducing heat to low. Cover and let the ingredients meld together, ensuring sausage is thoroughly heated. Add additional wine if the mixture appears dry, creating a luscious, cohesive sauce.
- Serve: Remove from heat and plate immediately, ensuring the dish is served piping hot and bursting with robust flavors.
Notes
- Slow-Brown Sausage: Patience is key when browning sausage; medium-low heat ensures an even, golden exterior without burning.
- Layer Flavors Strategically: Use the same skillet for sausage and vegetables to capture and build complex, rich taste profiles.
- Wine Enhances Depth: A splash of wine creates amazing depth, helping vegetables tenderize while adding subtle complexity to the dish.
- Rest and Simmer Gently: Low heat during final cooking stage allows ingredients to meld together, ensuring tender sausage and perfectly soft vegetables without losing moisture.
