Description

Ingredients
•
2 red bell peppers
•
1 yellow bell pepper
•
1 orange bell pepper
•
8 (3 1/2 ounce) links Italian sausage
•
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
•
1 large yellow onion, cut into large dice
•
1/2 cup red wine
•
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
•
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
1
Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
2
Roast red, yellow, and orange bell peppers on the preheated grill until blackened on all sides, about 15 minutes. Turn peppers as they blacken. Transfer peppers to a large resealable plastic bag and close the bag; set peppers aside until cool. Strip off and discard the skins, remove stems and seeds, and dice the peppers.
3
Cook sausages on the grill until browned and no longer pink inside, about 8 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a sausage should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
4
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and cook onion until tender, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add diced peppers to the onion mixture; cook and stir until heated through. Slice cooked sausages on the diagonal into bite-size pieces and stir into the onion and peppers.
5
Raise heat to medium-high and stir in red wine and oregano. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring often, until the red wine has reduced by one third, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
