Old-Fashioned Sausage and Peppers

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

1 large red onion, cut into 2-inch chunks

2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded and cut in 2-inch chunks

2 green bell peppers, cored, seeded and cut in 2-inch chunks

4 hot Italian sausages

4 sweet Italian sausages

1 cup crushed canned Italian plum tomatoes

1 1/2 cups Chianti

Pinch of dried oregano

Salt and black pepper to taste

Divide oil between 2 large skillets with lids; heat over medium heat. Divide garlic, onion and peppers between skillets and cook, stirring as needed, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add sausages, 4 to a skillet, and cook about 4 minutes more until sausages begin to brown. Add tomatoes, wine, oregano and a pinch of salt to pans. Cover, bring to simmer for about 25 minutes, until peppers are soft. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with crusty bread. Makes about 6 servings.
