1 green bell pepper, sliced

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

5 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 c red wine, on the drier side

1 14.5-ounces can diced tomatoes

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions:

Put a large pan on the stove and turn the heat to medium.

Arrange the sausages into the prepared pan. Cook each side for a few minutes until brown.

Remove the browned sausages from the pan onto a clean plate.

Use paper towels to wipe clean the pan.
