Directions
- Pour a generous amount of olive oil in a large skillet. Once heated, add the chopped onions and bell peppers. ≈ 3 min
- Add the fresh sausage (or, even better, salami pezzente), a little water, a splash of red wine, and the fresh tomatoes. Let it cook over low heat until all the liquid has evaporated.
- Crack the egg without the yolk and immediately mix it, so that it transforms into a kind of cooked stracciatella. ≈ 4 min
- Serve with grilled bread, especially when it’s a complete dish.
