ABOUT THE RECIPE:

This tantalizing Italian-Style Sweet Peppers with Vegan Sausage recipe was inspired by the sausage and peppers dish served each year at the annual Feast of San Gennaro in lower Manhattan’s Little Italy. With its authentic Italian-American taste and colorful presentation, this is a true crowd-pleaser to serve at any family lunch or casual supper.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Put the onion and 2 tablespoons broth in a large skillet. Cook over medium-low heat for 3 minutes. Add the Italian seasoning and cayenne pepper. Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Add more broth, 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Add the peppers. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, adding more broth, 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed to prevent sticking.

Cover and cook 6 to 7 minutes, adding more broth, 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Serve immediately in warm, crusty, hoagie-style buns or spooned over brown rice, quinoa, or whole-grain pasta.
