3/4 cup balsamic vinegar

# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bell peppers and onions. Season with basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly softened.
02 -
Reduce heat to medium. Push vegetables to one side. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the cleared side and sauté garlic until fragrant. Mix with vegetables, transfer to a bowl, and cover to keep warm.
03 -
Add remaining tablespoon oil to the skillet. Place sausage links in the pan and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides but not fully cooked through.
04 -
Reduce heat to low. Pour in balsamic vinegar and cover skillet. Simmer sausages until fully cooked, flipping halfway through cooking.
05 -
Remove sausages from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes. Slice into thick rounds.
06 -
Return sliced sausages and cooked vegetables to the skillet. Toss to coat in the balsamic glaze and cook for 2–3 minutes to heat through. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to fit all ingredients comfortably and promote even browning.
02 -
Tongs are helpful for stirring long strips of vegetables without breaking them.
03 -
Avoid burning garlic by removing it with the vegetables before browning sausages.
04 -
If the sauce is too thin, simmer uncovered for a few more minutes after sausages are removed.
