Sausage and Peppers

This is Frank Sinatra's recipe.

1  lb  Italian Sausage (mild or hot)
3  green peppers
3/4  cup  red wine
3  Tbs  olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste (optional)

Remove stems and seeds from peppers. Cut into large chunks.

In an ovenproof baking dish that can also be used on top of the stove, sauté peppers in oil until they begin to soften. Sprinkle with a little salt. Remove peppers from the dish and set aside.

Brown the sausages in the same dish. When browned, add red wine. Cover and bake sausages for 50 minutes @350°. Uncover; add green peppers and bake another 5 to 15 minutes. This can also be served as an appetizer.
