For the topping, remove the sausage meat from its casing and brown it briefly in 1-2 tbsp hot oil in a skillet, breaking it into small balls. Peel and halve the onion, slicing into strips. Wash, core, and slice the bell pepper into fine strips. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Add all to the sausage mixture and cook for a few minutes until the meat is golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper.
