Preparation:
Sauté Italian sausage for a few minutes in olive oil - just long enough to seal it or firm it up. Remove sausage and let cool. Cut into bite-size pieces.
Mix the rest of the ingredients in the skillet. Bring to a boil. Add sausage and cook for 1 hour on low heat.
Serve as a hot appetizer.
You may wish to be cautious with the wine at first. Some may find 1 cup too much. From Justin Wilson's Outdoor Cooking With Inside Help |
