isgouhi's sausage and peppers

So aging bob is trying to aim for plant-based food intake, but sausages don't quite fit that target food group so they have been off the menu for a while, not particularly with any hard core resolution but just mild disinterest? Finally a purchase is made, and Isgouhi volunteers to take the lead on how to follow through for an evening meal. She basically does onion and peppers with her frequent mix of Middle Eastern spices, while Ani apparently is responsible for the red pepper flakes. The result was really tasty, impressing bystander bob.

If this were a real cookbook instead of a casual hobby, more specific spice measurements would be listed below. "To taste" is the best advice we can give.

ingredients

1 lb  Italian sausage, cut up into 1 inch pieces

1 onion, chopped

1 green or whatever color pepper, cut lengthwise

light olive oil for sauteeing

3 plumb tomatoes, roughly chopped

1 t tomato paste spice

2 cloves garlic, pressed

black pepper

salt

red pepper flakes

allspice

cumin

 

instructions

1. Brown the sausages and then remove to a plate. 
2. Saute the onions, then add in the peppers until softened, then the garlic, then add in the tomatoes and tomato paste and spices.
3. Finally add back in the sausages, and cook together some 10 minutes or so.
4. Serve with bulgur pilaf and plain yogurt on the side, and a side salad.

notes

1. Make the bulgur pilaf sort of like the classic Armenian rice pilaf, with cumin added to the basic recipe.
2. There really should be more notes, no?
3. Illustrations available.
