• doses: 4

Ingredientes

1 1/2 pounds Italian sausage

1 large onion, halved and sliced

¼ cup white wine

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Salt and pepper

1½ pounds plum tomatoes, cored and chopped

Instruções

1. Combine sausages, onion, wine, 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 tablespoon water, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper in 12-inch nonstick skillet and bring to simmer over medium heat. Cover and cook until sausages are gray and onion is tender, about 8 minutes.

2. Uncover and increase heat to medium-high. Continue to cook until sausages are browned and register 160 degrees, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer sausages to platter.
