Ingredients

• 1 sweet yellow onion thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper sliced
• 1 pound mild Italian sausage
• 3 cups baby spinach chopped

Instructions

• Sauté onions (we use coconut oil) in large skillet on medium heat for about five minutes until they start to caramelize.
• Add bell pepper and continue to sauté until the pepper slices soften.
• Add sausage; use wooden spoon or spatula to chop in pan. (Optional: add a splash of Mirin, Japanese cooking wine, for a touch of sweetness.)
• Once sausage is fully cooked, remove pan from heat. Add spinach and stir into cooked ingredients. The steam alone will lightly wilt the spinach to the perfect consistency.
