With all the fresh peppers, onions, & garlic coming on now, I tried a simple off-the-cuff meal I did with no recipe. Very easy to prepare.
In a stock pot, I browned about 1 1/2 lbs. of crumbled, loose hot Italian sausage & drained the grease. Removed the sausage from the pan & set aside. In the same pan I sautéed 3 large multi-colored sweet peppers and 2 medium Vidalia onions in butter and extra virgin olive oil. While they were sauteeing, I made a big pan of white rice and set it aside. As the peppers and onions were about done, I added 3 cloves of fresh minced garlic to the sautee pan.
I combined all the peppers, onions, garlic, rice and sausage in the stock pot and simmered on low heat for about 3 minutes so the mess was hot. I then added a few gobs of butter and drizzled more extra virgin olive oil in the pot and stirred it to mix well. Served just as is or with grated Locatelli cheese sprinkled over it - either way was delicious !! Corn on the cob completed the meal.
No pix - but it was VERY tasty !!!
