Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients:
1 (14 ounce) can cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1 yellow pepper, thinly sliced
1 red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 pounds raw, spicy Italian sausages, about 8 sausages
1 (2inch) piece parmesan cheese rind
1/4 cup basil leaves, chopped
1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese, optional
Instructions:
To a 4 quart slow cooker add the cherry tomatoes, both peppers, onion, olive oil, salt and oregano. Stir together with a wooden spoon to combine. Nestle in the sausages and parmesan rind so everything slightly covered in the pepper mixture. Cover and set the cooker on low for 6 hours.
Before serving, sprinkle with the chopped basil and parmesan cheese if desired.
*Serving suggestions: Serve sausages in a hoagie bun topped with the peppers, onions and tomatoes and melted cheese, over polenta or rice, or just as is with a side salad.
