Reading Time: 2 minutesOut on Yawkey Way before Red Sox games, you can buy a sausage with peppers and onions for six dollars. In fact, you kind of have to — they smell amazing.
And if you know what I’m talking about — the wafting steam from that cart, the sweet smell of fried peppers and onions, the umami of the sausage, the vibration of excitement in the air, and the sound of a thousand Boston accents bouncing off the brick walls of Fenway — you’re going to love this recipe.
This paleo sausage recipe is super simple to make, with just a few minutes of prep and fifteen minutes in the pan (and it’s almost like being at the ballpark).
Paleo Sausage, Pepper, and Onions
This paleo sausage recipe is super simple to make, with just a few minutes of prep and fifteen minutes in the pan (and it’s almost like being at the ballpark).
Ingredients
- 5 pounds sugar-free Italian pork sausage
- 5 cups bell peppers
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 white onion
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
-
Slice peppers and onions and broccoli to your desired size.
-
Place a large saute pan on medium heat, and add coconut oil.
-
Slice off the outer casing of each sausage (lengthwise), carefully remove the sausage.
-
If you prefer, cut the sausage into disks. Alternatively, just throw it in the pan and break it up a bit with your spatula.
-
Add sausage to the pan, and cook until browned. This is much faster with the casing removed, and takes 3-4 minutes.
-
Add all of the vegetables to the pan, and leave them on top for 2 minutes.
-
Then, using a spatula, bring the sausage to the top, making sure to get the peppers and onions toward the bottom of the pan. Cook for 5 minutes.
-
Flip the ingredients, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
-
Serve.
Recipe Notes
Sugar-free sausage can be slightly more difficult to find, but is available in most grocery stores. Whenever possible, I strongly prefer fresh links made by an on-site butcher.
