Greek sausage dish?

[blopez34]

When I was at a Greek restaurant, I bumped into a dish that had sausage, onions, peppers, and tomato. I had some - a friend I was dining with had ordered it. I want to make it at home - it was delicious and looked pretty simple.

I don't remember what it is called, so I am having a difficult time tracking down a recipe. I tried to guess and make something like it at home, but even though it was good, it wasn't quite what the restaurant had served. Does anyone know what the dish is called and have any advice on how to make it?

The sausage is the secret. It is called
Loukaniko (Greek: λουκάνικο) is a type of Greek sausage made from pork or lamb and leeks and is typically flavored with orange peel, fennel seed, and various other dried spices

I second this - you have to make sure to choose the right sausage. Essentially, once you have that element in place, you can cut it up and cook it with sautéed pepper and onion, and then you can even add a little tomato paste and a splash of white wine once you add the sausages. Try it without the tomato paste and wine first. You can try it with a chopped tomato.

Oh! That's such a good tip. I tracked down some Greek sausage and made it, and I got pretty close. Thank you!
