Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced into strips
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced into strips
  • 1 large white onion sliced into half-moons
  • 12-13 ounce sausage links sliced on a bias into rounds
  • 8 cloves garlic finely minced (or jarred minced garlic)
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning or herbs de provence
  • Kosher salt & fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • Steamed white rice or rice of choice for serving- optional
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the bell peppers and onions and sauté until tender and lightly caramelized, about 10-12 minutes. If your mixture is browning too quickly, reduce the heat while sautéing.
  2. Add the sausage rounds and stir well to combine with the peppers/onions. Continue cooking the mixture until the sausage achieves a golden brown color, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Next, add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning/herbs de provence, and salt/pepper- to taste and stir well to combine. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes until everything melds nicely.
  4. Garnish the dish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve the sausage and peppers immediately on top of steamed rice, if desired. Enjoy!
