Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup (60 ml) avocado oil, or ¼ cup / 55 g (1.94 oz) coconut oil
  • 12 ounces (340 g / 12 oz) smoked sausages, thinly sliced
  • 1 small green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) dried oregano leaves
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon finely ground sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup (17 g / 0.6 oz) chopped fresh parsley
  • & Variations
  • Pressure Cooker Method:** Use the sauté mode to heat the oil. Add , seal, and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Naturally release pressure, then sauté for 3 minutes to evaporate liquid before stirring in parsley.
  • Meal Prep & Storage:** Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month. Thaw completely in the fridge before reheating.
  • Make it Nightshade-Free (AIP):** Use a compliant sausage, swap bell peppers for 2 sliced zucchinis, and replace paprika with turmeric. Omit black pepper for strict AIP.
  • Make it Low-FODMAP:** Omit the garlic powder and replace 2 tablespoons (30 ml / 1 fl oz) of the cooking oil with garlic-infused oil to get that classic flavor without the FODMAPs.

Method
 

  1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat until it shimmers.
  2. Add the sliced sausage, bell peppers, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper to the hot pan.
  3. Cover and cook for 15 minutes, until the peppers are fork-tender.
  4. Uncover the pan and continue to cook for another 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and the sausage is nicely browned.
  5. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
