Italian Sausage with Onion and Peppers
This is a popular dish in many northeast coast cities where they have heavy Italian populations. Normally, this is made with bell peppers, but I'm not crazy about bell peppers, I much prefer canned cherry peppers. This is a quick and easy lunch, and can be eaten by itself or leave the sausage whole and serve on wheat free buns, just make them into a hot dog bun shape.
1-2 Italian Sausages - look for kinds that are sugar free, typically the ones labeled "hot" rather than "sweet" will be sugar and wheat free.
1 small onion
3 cherry peppers (I would have used more, but that's all I had left in the jar)
Slice the sausages if you are planning to eat them without a bun, otherwise, keep whole.
Slice the onion and peppers.
Heat 1 t butter and 1 t olive oil (the combination keeps it from smoking as easily) in a hot pan on the stove and add the sausages, onion and peppers. Add 1 T water and cover to steam the sausage until cooked through. Add more water if it needs longer cooking. Remove the cover and let the steam all escape, stirring to keep everything from sticking. As soon as the water evaporates and things start to brown, it's ready to eat!
