Sausage, Peppers, and Onion

Sausage, Peppers, and Onion

This is an old school recipe that has been a mainstay for years of many folks. This used to be considered poor folks food, but sometimes the simplest recipes are the best. I have been making this for years but stopped when I got to my present location due to availability of the sausage, now that I have found the sausage, this is a excellent dish and low cost. You can change this up to your liking. You can use any sausage you like, chicken, beef, or pork.

Ingredients
  

  • 500 grams smoked sausage, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
  • 1 onion, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • In a large non-stick skillet on medium high heat, add the sliced sausage.
  • Brown the sausage, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Then add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper.
  • Season with oregano, and salt and pepper to your liking. When the pepper and onion are tender, remove from heat. (I cover with a lid while it is cooking and just mix it every few minutes.)
  • Sprinkle on the cheese and mix to coat everything, serve.
  • Serve as is, or over hot rice or pasta.

Notes

The sausage at Makro will cost about 125 Baht for 500 grams. This comes to about 90 cents per serving for 6 servings. From my experience, Makro has sales on this sausage, buy 1 kilo get 500 grams free so there is even more savings.
Variants: 1. Use more sausage and add a red bell pepper. 2. Add a good handful of sliced mushrooms, King Oyster or Shiitake would be good, and I think Straw mushrooms sliced in half lengthwise would be excellent.
Another variant, provided by good friend John Petersen, United States, serve this on a bed of freshly cooked hash browns and top with a couple of sunny side up eggs. (This I will do!)
Been making this for years.

    I made this yesterday, 22 July 2016 and took the step by step photos. I used 6 large spicy smoked sausages, probably about 750 grams, and everything else stated, except I only had 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese but that worked in a pinch. I served this over fettuccine pasta, was a hit with two Thais. We emptied the pan. Quick and easy meal to throw together, this is on my Go-to List of dishes!
