Salchicha y pimientos en una sola sartén

Ingredientes

• 1 lb Italian sausage ((4 sweet, hot or a combo))
• 1 bell pepper ((sliced))
• 1 onion ((sliced))
• 2 tsp canola oil
• 1/2 cup water or stock
• Red pepper flakes ((optional))

Preparación

1. 1

   Heat a heavy 12" cast iron skillet with a drizzle of canola oil over medium-high heat until it just starts to smoke.

2. 2

   With a fork, poke a few holes on each side of the sausage to keep them from bursting while they cook.

3. 3

   Place the sausage in the hot skillet, then place the sliced peppers and onions around them.

4. 4

   Stir the peppers and onions to spread them around and coat with oil.

5. 5

   Cook the sausage for about 4 minutes per side, or until they are nicely browned.

6. 6

   Carefully pour 1/2 cup water or stock in the skillet, then immediately place a lid over the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low.

7. 7

   Continue to cook covered for about 10 more minutes, or until the internal temperature of the sausage reaches 160° F / 71° C.

8. 8

   Remove the lid and the sausage from the skillet.

9. 9

   Increase the heat and season the peppers and onions with kosher salt and continue to cook for a few more minutes to reduce the liquid.

10. 10

    Serve the sausages topped with peppers and onions over pasta, rice, in an Italian bun or as is.
