Serves: 3-4
Ingredients
  • 1-2 pounds of Italian sausage (hot or sweet) - making sure it's made by a small producer (factory or supermarket sausage is not worth consuming). Slice sausage into ½ pieces
  • 1-2 large red onions (regular onions will do fine if you can't locate red onions)
  • 1 cup of parsley, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup of white wine
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Process
  1. Add a few teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil to a hot pan and add the sliced sausage. Pan saute for 10-15 minutes, leaving the sausage alone in the pan over a medium to high heat to develop a crispy and brown crust (this is critical to good sausage).
  2. Remove the sausage from the pan and add a bit more olive oil (if needed) and the onion (and red pepper flake if you're using sweet sausage).
  3. Add salt and pepper to taste and saute until the onion begin to wilt and become soft. Add the sausage back to the pan and mix well. Cook for 3-4 minutes and add the white wine.
  4. Stir well and add the parsley. Serve as a side dish during a holiday meal or with roasted chicken and/or a tomato salad.
