30 mins 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces Italian Sausage Links
  • 8 cloves of Garlic
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Parsley (Fresh)
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper
  • 1 White Onion
  • 4 cups Cooked White Rice, or rice of choice, for serving
  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
  • 2 teaspoons Herbes De Provence
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil

Directions

  1. Prepare ingredients: Finely mince the garlic. Slice the green and red bell peppers and the white onion. Slice the sausage links into coins.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and white onion and sauté until tender and lightly caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. If the mixture is browning too quickly, reduce the heat while sautéing.
  4. Add the sliced sausage and stir well to combine with the bell peppers and onions. Continue cooking until the sausage is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  5. Next, add the garlic, herbes de Provence, kosher salt, and black pepper, and stir well to combine. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until everything melds nicely.
  6. Garnish the dish with parsley.
  7. Serve the sausage and peppers immediately on top of steamed white rice, if desired.
