• Chicken or beef sausages - 250 grams
• Onion - 1 medium, diced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium, diced

2. Add the diced red bell pepper and carrot to the pan, cooking for about 5 minutes until they soften.
3. Slice the sausages into bite-sized pieces and add them to the pan. Cook until they are browned on all sides.
