Well the area I suffer the most is in the kitchen. I cannot cook. Or rather, I DO NOT cook, b/c as it turns out I can cook pretty darn well when I put my mind to it.
Lord Hill has been asking me to make one of my signature dishes for a little over a week so this Saturday I finally got around to it. It's Sausage and Peppers and I thought I'd share my recipe with some step by step photos.
Be sure to let me know if you give it a try!
INGREDIENTS:
- 7 Sweet Italian sausage links
- 3 Green Peppers
- 1 or 2 large Spanish onions
- extra virgin olive oil in a misto sprayer... you can use PAM or another cooking spray or just plain olive oil if you choose.
- Salt
- Spray pan with olive oil.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Slice peppers and onions into thin strips and place in pan. Mix well and sprinkle a dash of salt.
- Bake at 350 degrees.
- Brown Sausages in a pan.
- After sausages are browned take out the peppers and onions and mix well. Place back in oven and continuing baking until peppers and onions start to soften.
- Chop up sausages into bite size pieces and continue to quickly brown all sides of pieces.
- Add sausage to pepper and onions. Mix well. Add another dash of salt and lightly spray with olive oil.
- Bake for 20 minute or until peppers and onions are the texture you desire.
- Serve over white rice.
This looks dee-lish! Andrew made these last week. You're way more domesticated than me, I never cook. Hubs won't let me - I tend to burn everything.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever tried it with chicken sausage, even bettah - less fat and cals :) I never thought I'd like it, but it's yummers. Trader Joe's makes one, but you can pick them up in any supermarket.

Ally I haven't tried it with chicken sausage. I have tried turkey substitutes in a few recipes and was not a fan at all. I didn't know chicken was an option though. I'll definitely look into it. Thanks for the suggestion!
ReplyDeleteI can make this, meatballs (with a homemade sauce that I'm quite proud of), Kraft Mac & Cheese and a stir fry thing I made up. I also have a chicken dish I can make in a jiffy if need be. I cook maybe once a month. My hubby does the rest. I tried to make a sandwich this week for lunch and I burned the toast...twice. Ugh.
Wow that looks totally delicious! Great pics too
ReplyDeleteWhen I ate meat, this was one of my favorites to make. We always have sausage on hand b/c we buy it in the big packs and I seperate them.
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you that you are cooking. If I were eating meat the last time you made your chicken, I totally would've tried it, and probably would've loved it.
I think you are a great hostess and a great cook! :) Anything can be done if you put your mind to it!
@ The Redhead Riter Thanks so much! It was delicous. Every time I look at the pics it makes me wish there were leftovers.
ReplyDelete@ Sara - don't they make meatless sausage? you should try it again with a tofu based something or other. I'm sure that'd be delicous since it takes on the flavor of what you cook with it. Heck, I might even try a vegetarian version of this dish.
Thanks for the compliment, I think my hostess skills go up a notch when I have good guests ;-)
That looks sooooo yummy! It's 3:00 am, and now I'm starving.... lol
ReplyDeleteOh it was quite yummy.
ReplyDeleteI hope you made it through the day!
