Ingredients
Scale
Sausages and Cooking Liquids
- 4 mild Italian sausage links, uncooked
- 1 ½ cup (355 ml) water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Potatoes
- 2 cups large baby potatoes, skin on and sliced into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Vegetables and Seasoning
- 1 cup (110 g) fresh green beans, washed and trimmed
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1/2 cup (75 g) halved cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 3 tablespoons water
- Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Sausages: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the sausage links and 1 1/2 cups water. Cook for 12-14 minutes until the sausages are fully cooked. Discard any remaining water, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and sear the sausages for 1-2 minutes until their skins brown slightly. Set the sausages aside on a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
- Cook the Potatoes: Using the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the potato wedges, 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Sauté the potatoes, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes until they are cooked through and tender. Remove the potatoes and set aside with the sausages.
- Sauté the Vegetables: To the skillet, add the remaining olive oil, minced garlic, onion powder, remaining dried Italian seasoning, green beans, diced red onion, and halved cherry tomatoes. Sauté for 5-7 minutes while stirring regularly. Pour in 3 tablespoons of water and cook an additional 1-2 minutes until the water mostly evaporates and the vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Combine and Serve: Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the skillet. Return the cooked potatoes and sausages to the pan and heat through for a minute or two. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use mild or spicy Italian sausages depending on your preferred heat level.
- Ensure the baby potatoes are cut uniformly for even cooking.
- Cover the sausages with foil to keep them warm and juicy while preparing the rest.
- Add a splash of chicken broth instead of water for extra flavor while cooking the vegetables.
- Serve with crusty bread or over a bed of rice for added fullness.
