Recipe View Sauté the Sausage: Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Crumble the Italian sausage into the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.

Recipe View Build the Flavor Base: Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the rendered sausage fat from the skillet (or add 1 tablespoon of olive oil if there wasn't enough fat). Add the chopped bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, about 7 minutes.

Recipe View Simmer and Season: Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve hot.

For a spicier kick, use hot Italian sausage or add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the skillet when cooking the vegetables.
Feel free to experiment with different colors of bell peppers for a more visually appealing dish.
To make this dish vegetarian, substitute the sausage with 1 (15-ounce) can of drained and rinsed black beans or chickpeas.
This dish is delicious served on its own, but you can also serve it over rice, quinoa, or polenta.
