    Simmer it down

    Stir in the chicken broth, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Cover and simmer until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 6-8 minutes, stirring once or twice.

  3. 4

    Finish and serve

    Chop the plum tomatoes and add them to the skillet along with the parsley. Stir in the sausage and heat through for 2-3 minutes. Serve straight out of the pan.

Notes & Tips

This is one of those recipes that looks like it took way longer than it did. The trick is starting the sausage first since it takes the longest, then using the same pan for everything else - less cleanup and the peppers pick up all that flavor from the drippings. Don't skip the lemon juice, it's a small amount but it cuts through the richness of the sausage. Good over rice, polenta, or just with crusty bread to mop up the juices.
