Equipment
1 Wide or Large Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 or 2 links Smoked Sausage - sliced
- 2 Bell peppers - in your favorite varied colors, sliced
- 1 Red Onion or Yellow Onion - Sliced
- ½ bag Mini Petite Potatoes - Thin Sliced - I used about half of a 24 oz pack
- 3 cloves Fresh Garlic - Minced
- ½ cup to ¾ cup Chicken Stock - or Beef Stock, if desired
- ⅛ cup Dry White Wine - optional - add in with the stock
- 3 to 5 dashes Worcestershire sauce - optional - add in with the stock
- ¼ tsp Coarse Salt and Ground Pepper - season to taste as needed
- 1 to 2 tbsp Olive Oil
Instructions
- Drizzle olive oil and cook thin sliced potatoes in the skillet turning and tossting until browned/crisped and cooked through on all sides. About 10 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Returning to the same pan, drizzle in a little more olive oil and toss in sliced bell peppers and onions. Cook until onions begin to sweat in the pan and turn slightly fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Next, stir in minced garlic and cook for about 10 more minutes or until peppers and onions are softened but still firm inside. Season peppers and onions with pinches of coarse salt, cracked pepper, and parsley as they cook.
- Toss in sliced smoked sausage and stir to combine. Let the sausage slices brown and caramelize a bit in the skillet with the peppers and onions, about 5 minutes. Add more olive oil as needed.
- Splash in 1/2 to 3/4 cup of chicken stock or beef stock. Optionally, at this point you can also splash in the dry white wine and dashes of Worcestershire, if desired. Stir to combine, cover with a lid, and simmer, reducing the heat to low for about 20 to 25 more minutes or until vegetables are tender and juices are bubbling.
- Turn the heat off and stir in the sliced petite potatoes we cooked and set aside earlier. Garnish peppers, smoked sausage, and potatoes with lots of bright green fresh minced parsley and serve over fresh steamed rice or your favorite pasta.
