This is great on pasta or rice. It's very easy and doesn't use a lot of ingredients. You could even add a can of Cannellini or Pinto beans (drained and rinsed) when you add the tomatoes to make the foundation for a basic sausage stew. Ingredients:
1/2 lb italian sausage (not in the casing) |
1 small red bell pepper, diced |
1/2 small red onion, diced |
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can stewed tomatoes (diced with juice) |
1 -2 tablespoon flour (if desired, used it for thickening) |
2 -3 green onions, diced |
Directions:
1. In a medum-sized sauce pan, brown sausage, bell pepper and onion. Make sure vegies are tender.
2. Drain off grease.
3. Add stewed tomatoes, green onion 1-2 Tbsp of flour (for thickening-I added this to the tomatoes in separate medium-sized bowl and mixed it vigorously with a whisk. Then I added it, along with the green onion to the pan. If you like a thin sauce, don't do this step).
4. Bring to a boil over HIGH heat, stirring constantly.
5. Reduce to low-med, simmer covered for 15 min and uncovered for 15 min, stirring occasionally.
6. Serve over pasta or rice with a nice salad on the side with garlic bread.
