  • Serves: 4 servings
  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
  • Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 pound fresh Oliver’s Own House-Made Italian sausage
  • 1 cup white onion - sliced
  • 1 cup red onion - sliced
  • 3 red bell pepper - sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves - sliced
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the sausage links, and cook for about 2 minutes each side, just until they turn brown. The sausage will not be cooked through. Place them on a cutting board, slice them, and set aside.

  2. Add the onions, and cook for about 2 minutes. Stir constantly. Then, add the peppers, garlic, salt and black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 5 minutes or until the onions are translucent.

  3. Return the sausage back to the skillet, and reduce the heat to medium. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Then, uncover the skillet, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook for 3 more minutes, just until the liquid is evaporated and the sausage is cooked through. Top with parsley and basil.
