Sausage and Peppers (vegan style of course) has always been the ultimate comfort food meal for me. But I think I totally stepped it up by adding super creamy and deelish polenta. The perfect combo! I would say make more of this one as it will go super fast!

Another Vegan Sausage and Peppers recipe 🙂

Vegan Creamy Polenta with Sausage and Peppers

• 2 packages vegan sausage, sliced 1/2″ rounds (My favorites are Field Roast and Tofurkey)
• 1 sweet onion, sliced thin
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 bell pepper, sliced (I don’t like green peppers so I always use red, yellow or orange – but your preference)
• 1/4 cup red wine
• 1/4 teaspoon fennel
• salt and pepper, to taste
• Creamy Polenta, recipe below

1. Saute sausage over medium heat until well browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
2. Over medium-high heat, saute the onion in olive oil about 5 minutes.  Add the garlic and saute a minute more.
3. Add the wine to deglaze the pan, Simmer until the wine has reduced by half. Add the peppers, fennel, salt and pepper, cooking about 3 minutes more until the peppers are tender but still brightly colored. Add the sausage back in and mix.
4. Serve with creamy polenta.
