Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz smoked sausage
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 small zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced into half-moons
  • 1 small yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage slices in a single layer and cook 4 minutes without moving, then flip and cook 2-3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Add bell peppers, onion, and zucchini to the same skillet with a pinch of salt. Cook 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and charred at the edges.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low, add garlic, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes, and stir 30 seconds. Pour in broth, scrape the pan bottom, and simmer 1 minute. Stir in vinegar.
  4. Return sausage to the skillet with any juices, toss to coat, and warm through 1 minute. Season to taste and serve with parsley.

Notes

If your smoked sausage releases very little fat while browning, add a touch more oil before cooking the vegetables. The apple cider vinegar really makes the flavors pop, so taste and add a tiny splash more if it still feels flat.
