Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 25 minutes
Number of servings: 2

Necessary ingredients
- 150 g homemade smoked sausages
- 2 small peppers (preferably one red and one yellow for an extra splash of color)
- 2 eggs (preferably fresh)
- 2 tablespoons sunflower or olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Salt to taste
- 4 tablespoons milk
- Freshly ground pepper

Step by step - How to prepare ratota

1. Preparing the ingredients:
Start by taking the eggs out of the fridge about 30 minutes before cooking. Once at room temperature, they will whip better and give a fluffier texture to the dish. Wash the peppers well, then remove the stem and seeds. Cut them into thin rings for even cooking.

2. Preparing the sausages:
Remove the sausages from their casing and break them into small pieces. It's essential to use high-quality, homemade smoked sausages, as their flavor will make a difference in the final dish.

3. Heating the oil:
In a non-stick skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil over medium heat. Make sure the oil is well heated before adding the ingredients to achieve even frying.

4. Cooking the sausages and peppers:
Add the sausage pieces to the skillet, followed by the pepper rings. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausages are browned and the peppers soften slightly. The flavors will combine beautifully!

5. Preparing the egg mixture:
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt, milk, and chopped parsley. The milk will add a special creaminess to the dish. Ensure the mixture is homogeneous.

6. Cooking the ratota:
Once the sausages and peppers are ready, pour the egg mixture into the skillet. After a few seconds, remove the skillet from the heat. Using a wooden or silicone spatula, push the mixture from one side of the skillet to the other to avoid the eggs coagulating quickly. It's important to maintain a fluffy texture.

7. Finalizing the dish:
If you desire a firmer ratota, you can return the skillet to the heat for a few moments. Before serving, sprinkle freshly ground pepper for an extra flavor boost.
