Frank Sinatra's Sausage and Peppers

Source: Epicurean Online

1 lb. Hot Italian sausage
3 Tbsp. Olive oil
3 green peppers
3/4 cup red wine
Salt and pepper (optional/to taste)

Remove the stems and seeds from peppers can cut into large chucks. In ovenproof baking dish, that can be used on the top of the stove, sauté green peppers in oil until they begin to soften.

Sprinkle with a little salt. Lift the green peppers out of the dish and set aside. Brown the sausages in the same baking dish. When browned, add 3 / 4 cup red wine. Cover the pan with foil and bake the sausages in wine in a 350 degree oven for 40 minutes. (Ovens vary, so cook until the sausage is no longer pink.)

Uncover and add the sautéed green peppers. Bake for an additional 30 minutes and serve in the same baking dish.

Serves 4.
