How to Make Sausages In Hearty Red Wine Sauce

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of Italian sausages (removed from casings, if desired) and brown on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add 1 small onion, chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; and 1 cup of cremini mushrooms, sliced to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of dry red wine (such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot), 1/2 cup of chicken broth, 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly and the sausages are cooked through. Stir occasionally.
  5. Serve the sausages and sauce over hot cooked rice or pasta. Garnish with fresh parsley and a side of crunchy green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
