Ingredients: Simple and Satisfying

This recipe uses a handful of ingredients that you likely have on hand. Here's what you'll need:

• 1 lb (450g) sausage (mild or spicy Italian, or smoked sausage, sliced)
• 3 bell peppers (assorted colors, sliced)
• 1 large onion (sliced)
• 4 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1/4 cup (60ml) honey
• 2 tbsp (30ml) soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 2 tbsp (30ml) apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp (15ml) cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
• 2 tbsp (30ml) olive oil
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Cooking the Sausage and Peppers

Now that you've gathered your ingredients, let's get cooking! This recipe comes together in just a few simple steps.

Sauté the Sausage

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Peppers and Onions

In the same skillet, add the sliced peppers and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and caramelize, about 8-10 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to draw out the moisture and enhance the flavors.

Add the Garlic

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

The Honey Garlic Glaze: The Secret Sauce

The star of the show is the honey garlic glaze that ties this entire dish together. Here's how to make it:

Whisk the Ingredients

In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and cornstarch (if using). This will create a tangy, slightly sweet, and slightly salty glaze that coats the sausage and peppers beautifully.

Toss and Simmer

Pour the glaze over the peppers and onions in the skillet. Stir to combine, then return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the glaze to thicken and coat the sausage and peppers.

Serving Suggestions

This Honey Garlic Sausage and Peppers dish is perfect as is, but you can also serve it over:

• Couscous
• Rice
• Pasta
• Quinoa
• Sliced bread (for a delicious open-faced sandwich)

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
