Directions

1
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the sausage slices and sauté for about 3 minutes until lightly browned on both sides.
2
Add the onion rings and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and turn translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.
3
Pour in the vinegar and continue sautéing for 2 more minutes, scraping up any caramelized bits from the bottom of the pan.
4
Remove from heat, scatter freshly chopped herbs on top and serve immediately with crusty bread.

💡 Chef's Tip

Apple cider vinegar gives a mild, fruity tang while balsamic adds a richer depth. Serve with rustic bread to soak up all those delicious pan juices.
