re: To the New York/New Joisey types...Sausages and Peppers?

This is a standard preparation method: Johnsonville sausage is fine.

Ingredients
1/2 lbs Italian sausages
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 large onions, cut in slivers
3 sweet red peppers, seeded and cut in strips
3 green bell peppers, seeded and cut in strips
1/2 teaspoon oregano
Directions:
1 Pierce each sausage in several places and place in a heavy frying pan with 1 tablespoon of oil. Cook over medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until well-browned.
2 While sausages are cooking, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and saute the garlic and onion.
3 Stir in peppers and oregano and cook until onions are lightly browned and the peppers are tender.
