One Pan Spicy Sausage and Veggies - a delicious and healthy meal packed with speed foods and ready in 20 mins
You know those days when you are trying to keep the carbs low, want a quick meal, but one that is still tasty and doesn't leave you feeling like you are missing something? Well, this is just the dish.
Every week when we go grocery shopping, there are a few things that always go in my shopping cart as some of my favourites speeds foods - zucchini (courgette) and cabbage which I usually shred to add into stir-fries. If I don't buy cabbage then I grab handy bags of broccoli slaw.
You may be wondering what exactly is broccoli slaw? especially if it is not available where you are. It is literally just shredded broccoli stalks and carrots - some varieties will have shredded Brussels or cabbage in there too.
The shredded cabbage or kale slaw works perfectly in this Spicy Sausage and Veggies dish. The little pieces of shredded veggies satisfy my craving for noodles or similar while keeping my meal high in speed foods.
As well as the cabbage or kale slaw, I also use a little vegetable peeler to make perfect little ribbons of zucchini and carrot. They add a beautiful fleck of colour into this spicy sausage with veggies.
For the sausages in this dish, use a sausage of your choice, you don't need to worry about sourcing a particular sausage, as this recipe is flavoured through all the yummy seasoning that we add to the dish.
I love the spiciness of this Spicy Sausage and Veggies, but of course, if you are not overly keen on hot dishes, you can omit the chilli or cayenne. It is just as delicious for such a simple dish.
Quick tasty meals, really do not need to be complicated, see how easy this Spicy Sausage and Veggies is to prepare and cook? and it's all good and healthy ingredients.
If you really can't do without the carbs, feel free to add some to this dish, - rice, noodles, pasta or how about some chips, sweet potato fries or if you want to feel like you have the carbs, then these butternut squash fries.
