Pepperonata

Toasted Fennel

Fresh Mozzarella

Method

Sausage

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a skillet over medium heat, add the Italian sausage links. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest before slicing.

Pepperonata

  1. 2

    Prepare the Pepperonata

    In the same skillet, add olive oil over medium heat. Slice the bell peppers and onion into strips and add them to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.

  2. 3

    Add Garlic and Seasoning

    Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet along with balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and caramelized.

Toasted Fennel

    Toast the Fennel Seeds

    In a small dry skillet, toast the fennel seeds over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Fresh Mozzarella

    Slice the fresh mozzarella into rounds. Set aside for assembly.
