Chili with Italian Sausage, Peppers and Onions

Chili with Italian Sausage, Peppers and Onions - Healing and Eating

I love Italian sausage with red bell peppers and onions, so I decided to make it into a summer chili with shredded zucchini. I bought spicy Italian sausage, but it can easily be made with sweet Italian sausage instead. Everything cooked up very quickly so it was a nice meal that took only 15-20 minutes to make. Plus, it made a lot of food, and I’m always a fan of leftovers!  This turned out to be an easy one pot meal that I can definitely, see myself repeating in the future.

Serves: 3-4
Ingredients
  • 4 spicy Italian sausages
  • 4 zucchinis, shredded
  • 1¾ cups of red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cups of white onions, diced
  • 2 tsp of sea salt
  • 1 tbsp of coconut oil
  • 5-6 grinds of fresh ground black pepper
  • (optional) 1 tbsp of chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley for garnish
Instructions
  1. Shred zucchini in a food processor, and chop onions, and bell pepper.
  2. Saute diced onions in coconut oil in a large dutch oven for a few minutes.
  3. Remove sausage from casing, and add to dutch oven.
  4. Stir until sausage is cooked through, about 5-10 minutes. Add diced red bell peppers when sausage is mostly cooked. This is added towards the end, so that the bell pepper stays firm and crisp. (The way I like it) If you like them soft, add them earlier with the onions.
  5. When sausage is cooked, stir in the shredded zucchini, and serve.
  6. (optional) add some chopped fresh parsley for garnish
