Sausage and Peppers

Combine the pan sauce ingredients in a small measuring cup with a spout. Measure out remaining ingredients before beginning.

Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage links and cook for 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside. Let it rest for 10 minutes, then cut into slices.

Leave any drippings in the skillet and add 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the onions and allow them to cook for 10 full minutes to caramelize slightly. Stir frequently throughout cooking.

Increase heat to medium-high and add the bell peppers. Cook for 6 to 7 minutes, stirring continuously. Season with salt and pepper halfway through. Remove the onions/peppers and set aside.

Add the wine and set the heat to medium. Use a silicone spatula to “clean” the bottom and sides of the skillet to add more flavor to the sauce. Cook for 2 minutes.

Add the sausage back along with any juices from the plate. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, garlic, and tomato paste. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously. Add the combined sauce mixture and stir to combine and heat through for 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the peppers and onions back and stir to combine and heat through. Serve!
