Frank Sinatra’s Sausage and Peppers

3 green peppers

3 Tbsp olive oil

salt and pepper

1 pound hot Italian sausages

1/3 cup red wine

Remove the stems from peppers and cut into large chunks.

In an oven proof baking dish that can be used on top of the stove, saute green peppers in oil until they begin to soften. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Lift the green peppers out of the dish and set aside. Brown the sausage in the same baking dish. When browned, add red wine, cover the pan with foil and bake sausage in wine in a 350 degrees oven for 40 minutes.

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

Serves 4.
