  2. Prepare the vegetables

    Cut the onion 80 g and red bell pepper 70 g into roughly 2 cm pieces. Split the thicker stems of the broccoli 60 g lengthwise so the florets are a similar thickness. Pat the washed vegetables dry.

  4. Brown the sausages

    Heat the oil 1 T in a wide frying pan over medium heat. Spread the sausages in one layer and turn them as they cook until the slits open and the edges brown.

  5. Stir-fry the vegetables in order

    Add the broccoli and stir-fry for about 1 minute. Add the onion and bell pepper and stir-fry for about 2 more minutes. Add the minced garlic 1/3 T to the center of the pan, then stir it through when fragrant.

  6. Glaze with the ketchup sauce

    Stir the sauce and pour it into the pan. When small bubbles appear, turn the ingredients to coat them. Use a thermometer to check that the largest sausage reaches 75°C in the center, then heat for another minute.

  7. Plate and serve

    Turn off the heat when a chopstick pierces a broccoli stem and the pepper still has some bite. Spread the sausages and vegetables on a wide plate.
