ITALIAN SAUSAGE WITH POTATOES, ONIONS, AND PEPPERS



Italian Sausage With Potatoes, Onions, and Peppers image

I got this recipe from my mother inlaw, it is cheap and easy to put together. I love to throw this together on a cold, snowy Sunday morning - then I can just throw it in the oven later and go about my business while dinner cooks. Add a salad or crusty itallian bread for a side and you are all set. I sometimes use turkey sausage for a lower fat dish.

RISOTTO WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE, CARAMELIZED ONIONS, AND BITTER GREENS image

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cups chopped onion (about 1 large)
2 teaspoons sugar
8 ounces sweet turkey Italian sausage
1/4 cup chopped shallots
1 cup Arborio rice or other medium-grain rice
1/3 cup white wine
2 cups arugula leaves
3 tablespoons freshly grated pecorino Romano cheese
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind

Steps:

  • 1. Bring broth and 1/2 cup water to a simmer in a medium saucepan (do not boil). Keep warm over low heat. 2. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and sugar to pan; sauté 7 minutes or until onion is golden. Place onion mixture in a small bowl; set aside. 3. Removing casings from sausage. Add sausage to pan; sauté 4 minutes or until browned, stirring to crumble. Add chopped shallots; sauté 2 minutes. Add Arborio rice; sauté 30 seconds. Stir in white wine; cook 45 seconds or until liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly. Stir in 1 cup hot broth; cook 2 minutes or until the liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly. Add remaining broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each portion of broth is absorbed before adding the next (about 20 minutes total). Remove from heat; stir in reserved onion, arugula, and remaining ingredients.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality Italian sausage: Look for sausage made with fresh, flavorful pork and a good blend of herbs and spices. Avoid sausage that is too greasy or has a lot of fillers.
  • Slice the sausage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from drying out.
  • Use a large skillet: This will give the sausage and onions plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Cook the sausage over medium heat: This will help it render its fat slowly and evenly.
  • Don't stir the sausage too often: This will break it up and make it less flavorful.
  • Cook the onions until they are caramelized: This will add a delicious sweetness and depth of flavor to the dish.
  • Season the dish to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices as desired.
  • Serve the Italian sausage and onions immediately: This dish is best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Italian sausage and onions is a classic combination that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover sausage. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as pasta, rice, or potatoes. It is also a great addition to sandwiches and wraps.
