Preparation

  1. To a large dutch oven on medium heat, add the olive oil and heat it until it shimmers.
  2. Add the hot Italian sausage, cook until the the first side browns deeply, flip and cook on the other side until the sausage is fully cooked, 15 minutes. Remove the sausages from the pan and slice when they cool down.
