Ingredients
- 4 ounce links sweet Italian sausages (or sausage of choice)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 yellow onion sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 large red bell pepper sliced
- 1 orange bell pepper sliced
- 1 ½ teaspoons fresh thyme finely chopped (1 teaspoon dried thyme)
- 1 ½ teaspoons fresh oregano finely chopped (1 teaspoon dried oregano)
- ¼ cup white wine
- 1 ½ teaspoons fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Place the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, and brown on all sides (the sausages are not cooked all the way in this step they are just browned). Remove from skillet, let cool a bit (5 minutes) and slice into pieces of desired thickness.
- Add olive oil to the skillet. Stir in the onion and garlic, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Add bell peppers and stir to combine. Season with thyme and oregano. Add white wine. Continue to cook and stir until peppers and onions are tender with a slight bite (about 5-6 minutes).
- Return sausage slices to the skillet with the onions and peppers. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until sausage is heated through.

Notes
- Peppers and Onions: Be sure to cut your onions and peppers into the same-sized pieces for even cooking.
- The sausage is done when it’s no longer pink in the center. If you’re using an instant-read meat thermometer, you’ll know it’s ready when the sausage reaches an internal temperature of 160°F.
