Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by washing the eggplant, bell pepper, and tomato. Dice the eggplant, onion, and bell pepper into small cubes. Mince the garlic.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, for about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

  2. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add olive oil. Once hot, add minced garlic and diced onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until onion is translucent. Then add the diced bell pepper and eggplant. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggplant is tender.

  3. 4

    Combine and Simmer

    Return the cooked sausage to the skillet. Pour in the tomato sauce and add basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine all ingredients. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
