This super-simple stove top recipe for sausages with potatoes and Brussels sprouts is a one-pot marvel, perfect for a busy weeknight.
Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 3/4-in. cubes
3 tbsp olive oil
500 g pork sausage, (preferably banger style)
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
1/2 cup unsweetened apple cider
2 tsp thyme leaves
Instructions
Place potatoes in a pot of salted water on high. Boil for 8 min or until tender. Drain and return pot to low heat for 1 min to evaporate water. Set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan on high. Add sausages and fry, turning often, for 5 min or until browned all over. Transfer to a plate.
Add remaining 2 tbsp of oil and butter to pan. Add potatoes, season with salt and pepper, and sauté 5 min longer. Add Brussels sprouts and sauté 5 minutes or until all vegetables are tender. Transfer to a plate.
Cut sausages into 1-in. lengths on the bias and fry cut-side down for 3 min or until ends are browned. Add cider and thyme to pan, bring to a boil and cook for 2 min or until cider coats sausages. Return potatoes and Brussels sprouts to pan and toss until heated through.
