• 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

1. Begin by prepping the ingredients: thinly slice the bell peppers and the onion. Mince the garlic cloves, and set everything aside.

Step 2

2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 3

Step 5

5. Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano. Stir well to combine.

Step 6

6. Cook the peppers and onions for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 7

7. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. If you like extra heat, add the crushed red pepper flakes at this point and mix well.

Step 8

8. Slice the cooked sausages into bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet. Mix everything together and cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm the sausages and blend the flavors.

Step 9

9. Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
