Spicy Fennel Sausages with Onions and Red Peppers


Saturday August 16

We bought the ingredients for this meal at the St. Catharines farmers' market in the morning, and then spent the afternoon visiting picturesque Featherstone Winery, where sheep nibble and trim the lower vine leaves.
We bought a lot of wine, including their Gemstone Baco Noir, a red we figured would stand up to spicy sausages.

It turns out we'd underestimated these sausages; we were thinking hot Italian, but they were more in the hot Spanish chorizo range. The sautéed onions and red bell peppers modified them a bit, but they really needed something bland like potatoes. The wine, however, held up like a trouper.
