Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450g) Italian sausage links, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 1/2 pounds (680g) fresh green beans, trimmed and washed
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup chicken broth or water
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced sausage in a single layer and brown for 3-4 minutes per side until golden. Transfer to a plate, leaving drippings in pan.
- Reduce heat to medium and add remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Cook sliced onions until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add green beans to the skillet and toss to coat. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour in chicken broth, cover with lid, and steam for 5 minutes.
- Remove lid, increase heat to medium-high. Add balsamic vinegar and cook uncovered for 3-4 minutes until liquid reduces and beans are tender-crisp.
- Return browned sausage to the skillet and toss everything together for 2 minutes to reheat and combine flavors. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
