Sausage and Peppers for the Balsamic Lover - Simple Classic Italian Meal - craftycookingmama.com

“Hey, Henry, hurry up, will ya?  My mother’s gonna make some fried peppers and sausage for us.”

My husband reminds me of this Goodfellas quote every time I make sausage and peppers.  A good Italian meal, he says.  Indeed it is.  This is my Sausage and Peppers for the Balsamic Lover.

This is a meal that I keep super simple.  All you need is a good Italian sausage, a few peppers (add more if you’d like), a large onion, olive oil and balsamic vinegar.  That’s it.  Chop the peppers, onions and sausage to your size preference.  I like to get a taste of everything in each bite, so I don’t chop the peppers or onions into too large of pieces.  I prefer bigger chunks of sausage, I usually cut them into 3″-4″ pieces.  I cook everything in a dutch oven until the onions and peppers are melt in your mouth tender.  (If you prefer more crisp to your veggies then you’ll have to revamp the process a bit.)  Reduce the liquid and serve.  Really, how much easier can that get.

I serve this with a salad and lots of crusty bread.  Simple, delicious and tons of flavor.  I will admit, it’s not the prettiest of dishes – but one bite and that will all be forgotten.  There’s something so rewarding about an enjoyable meal made with just a handful of basic ingredients.

I love this meal!  Sausage, peppers, onions and the sweet bite from the balsamic vinegar – yum!  I hope you try it out some time soon.  Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Cooking!
