“Sausage” and Peppers

This pairs well with light pasta dishes, as in the suggested menu.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 to 8 soy “sausage” links
1 large onion, chopped
4 medium green or red bell peppers or 2 of each, cut into narrow strips
2 garlic cloves, minced, optional
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1/2 tablespoon of the oil in a wide skillet. Add the “sausage” links and sauté, turning on all sides, until golden. Remove to a plate. When cool enough to handle, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices.

    Step 2

    Heat the remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in the same skillet. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until translucent. Add the bell pepper strips and optional garlic and continue to sauté until the peppers are tender and just beginning to brown.

    Step 3

    Stir in the “sausage” slices and cook just until heated through. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
