Ingredients
  

Skillet Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs Italian Sausage Links Sliced into 1/2-inch rounds; mild or hot
  • 1 large Red Bell Pepper Sliced into long strips
  • 1 large Yellow Bell Pepper Sliced into long strips
  • 1 large Green Bell Pepper Sliced into long strips
  • 1 large White Onion Sliced into thin half-moons
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil (30ml)
  • 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter (14g)
  • 1/2 cup Chicken Stock (120ml) or dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Parsley (10g) finely chopped
  • 1 tsp Dried Red Chili Flakes (2g)

Equipment

  • 1 12-inch Cast Iron Skillet Essential for high-heat searing and heat retention.
  • 1 Chef's Knife For uniform slicing of peppers and onions.

Method
 

Prep and Sear
  1. Heat olive oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until the edges are charred and crispy. Remove to a plate.
  2. In the same skillet with the remaining drippings, add the red, yellow, and green pepper strips and onions. Sauté for 8-10 minutes until the peppers show sear marks and onions are translucent.
  3. Pour in the chicken stock or wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to release the fond. Return the sausage to the skillet along with the butter. Toss until a glistening sauce forms.
  4. Top with chopped fresh parsley and dried red chili flakes. Serve immediately directly from the skillet.

Notes

Use a heavy cast iron pan to get the best char without overcooking the sausage.
Deglaze with white wine for a deeper, more sophisticated flavor profile.
