Ingredients:

1 bulb fennel
230g
1 onion
150g
1/4 cup olive oil
55g
3 oz italian sausage
81g
1 red hot chili pepper red hot chili peppers
10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Fennel: Cut off the stalks and fronds. Discard the stalks and chop the fronds for garnish (optional). Slice the bulb thinly.
- Onion: Peel and thinly slice the onion.
- Italian Sausage: Remove the sausage from its casing and crumble it into bite-sized pieces.
- Red Hot Chili Pepper: Slice the chili pepper thinly. Remove seeds if you prefer less heat.
2. Cook the Sausage:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables:
- In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil.
- Add the sliced onion and fennel. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add the sliced red hot chili pepper and continue to stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
4. Combine Ingredients:
- Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld the flavors.
5. Serve:
- Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary (salt and pepper to taste).
- Garnish with fennel fronds if desired.
- Serve hot, optionally over a bed of rice or with crusty bread.

Tips:

- Make sure to thinly slice the fennel bulb to ensure even cooking.

- Cook the sausage thoroughly before adding the vegetables to avoid undercooked meat.

- Use a high-quality olive oil to enhance the flavors of the ingredients.

- For a less spicy version, you can substitute the red hot chili pepper with a milder pepper.

- Stir the mixture frequently to prevent any ingredient from sticking to the pan.
