Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, crushed
- 2 pieces Plum or Roma Tomatoes, diced
- 1 lb Pork Sausage (mild or spicy), remove the skins or use a ground mix
- 1 teaspoon dried Thyme or 2 Tablespoons fresh, or to taste
- 1 large Carrot, peeled and diagonally sliced to 1/2-inch thickness
- 2 cups Green Beans, chopped into 2-inch lengths
- 2 small Zucchini or Yellow Squash, sliced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- A little Soy sauce for seasoning optional
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet or frying pan. Sauté the onions for about 3-4 minutes or until it has softened. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the pork sausages. Crumble with a fork and then cook until brownish. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the Carrots and Green Beans ahead, as they take much longer to soften. Sauté the beans and carrots quickly with the sausages and then cover and simmer for about 8-10 minutes or until crisp-tender. You can add a little water if it seems dry.
- Add the Zucchini or Yellow Squash with the fresh Thyme. If using dried Thyme, you may add it with the beans and carrots. Cook just until all the veggies are soft but still retaining some bite (not mushy).
