ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PEPPERS STIR FRY



Italian Sausage and Peppers Stir Fry image

You can cook it with hot Italian sausages as in the directions below or you can make it with mild or sweet sausages. If you do, you may want to omit the peppers and add either a touch of honey, syrup, or brown sugar, and sliced tart apples . Either way, I think I'd keep the onions...but that's a personal choice. You can also add chili flakes or parsley or any herb/spice that suits your tastes. If you want to serve it over pasta, you can add a can or two of spaghetti sauce and slice the sausauges before frying. This recipe is so versatile, you can't go wrong.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Select firm, medium-sized zucchini that are deep green in color. Avoid zucchini that are too large or have blemishes.
  • Slice the zucchini evenly: This will help them cook evenly. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline to slice the zucchini.
  • Brown the sausage well: This will give the dish more flavor. Cook the sausage over medium-high heat until it is browned on all sides.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will not cook evenly. Cook the vegetables in batches if necessary.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Italian sausage and zucchini stir-fry is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with flavor and is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. Serve it over rice, pasta, or quinoa for a complete meal.
