Week eight- sausage with peppers and onions

As soon as I saw the peppers and onions in this week's share, I knew we had a bad a** batch of sausage with peppers and onions in our near future. I like to have a package or two of Trader Joe's chicken sausages in the freezer... they keep in there a long time, and there are lots of different flavors. For this dish I used the Zesty Italian (or something like that) sausages. I sauteed a sliced onion in olive oil for a few minutes, then added the sliced and seeded peppers. Stirred that around for a few minutes, till the veggies started to soften, then added the cut-up sausages. Poured in a little beer, put a lid on it, then let the whole thing steam for a few minutes. Took the lid off and stirred occasionally till the liquid evaporated. These peppers and onions were so sweet with just a hint of zing... we were surprised at how great this meal was.


As good as the dinner was, I was really excited to use the leftovers for an eggy weekend brunch. Chopped up the sausage and veg, diced a mozzarella cheese stick (ok, it was a thing of string cheese), and scrambled it all up with a few eggs.
