Equipment

Dutch oven
Knife
Cutting board
Measuring spoons
Measuring Cup

Ingredients

1 pound spicy Italian sausage sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
2 large bell peppers sliced (red and yellow for color variety)
1 medium onion sliced
2 cloves garlic minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes adjust to taste
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Fresh parsley chopped for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the sliced sausages and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausages and set aside.
In the same Dutch oven, add the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté until the vegetables start to soften and the onions become translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and sea salt. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the Dutch oven.
Return the sausages to the Dutch oven. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Uncover and continue to cook for 5 minutes to reduce the sauce slightly.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.

Notes

For those who prefer a milder taste, reduce the amount of red pepper flakes. Additionally, if you're not on a strict keto diet, you can serve this dish over cauliflower rice for a complete meal. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated, making this dish perfect for meal prep.
