Ingredients

Sausages

  • Andouille sausage, sliced into bite-sized rounds
  • Summer sausage, sliced into bite-sized rounds

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • Bell peppers, diced
  • Onions, diced
  • Garlic, minced

Seasonings and Garnishes

  • Olive oil, for sautéing
  • Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare and slice the sausages: Start by slicing both the andouille and summer sausages into bite-sized rounds or half-moons for quick, even cooking and easy eating.
  2. Sauté the aromatics: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add diced onions, bell peppers, and garlic. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Cook the sausages: Add the sliced sausages to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they brown slightly and release their smoky oils, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  4. Season and combine: Sprinkle in salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Stir everything together and let cook another 2 minutes to marry the flavors.
  5. Finish and garnish: Remove from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley over the dish to add a burst of color and fresh herbaceous notes before serving.

Notes

  • Use a cast-iron skillet for even heat retention and excellent caramelization.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan to allow ingredients to brown rather than steam.
  • Slice sausages evenly to ensure uniform cooking and an appealing presentation.
  • Allow the skillet to rest briefly off the heat so flavors settle and deepen.
  • Add fresh herbs such as parsley or chives at the end for brightness and balance.
