Ingredients

• 14 ounces smoked sausage
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 2 cups grape or cherry tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch rounds.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the sliced sausage to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until browned. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Peel and finely slice the onion. Cut the red and green bell peppers into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed, then add the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.

Step 6

Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the peppers are tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Stir in the grape or cherry tomatoes, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.

Step 9

Return the browned sausage to the skillet, stirring to combine with the vegetables. Cook for 2-3 more minutes until heated through and flavors meld together.

Step 10

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top and serve immediately. This dish pairs well with rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
