Description
This is warm and comforting for the colder months, but also delicious in the warmer months.
Ingredients
5 sausage links, grilled (with a slight char), and sliced into bite sized pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more to taste
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
6 mushrooms, sliced
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 ( 28-ounce) can diced or whole tomatoes with juice
3/4 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 tablespoons drained capers
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Cook sausage on outdoor grille on medium light being careful not to burn. You want them to be temperature cooked to 160 degrees F, but only have a slight char on them. You can also cook in a skillet on top of the stove. Either way make sure they are cooked to 160 degrees F. Remove from grille. Cool slightly and slice sausage into bite sized slices.
In a large heavy saute pan, heat the oil over a medium-high flame. Add the bell pepper, mushrooms, onion and garlic to the same pan and saute over medium heat until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juice, broth, capers and oregano.
Add the sausage slices to the pan and turn them to coat in the sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Continue simmering over medium-low heat until the flavors meld, about 30 minutes.
Serve with pasta or mashed potatoes.
Notes
This is also great for leftovers.
