Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 links sausages (preferably smoked or pork sausages)
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 1 large apple, cored and sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 cup chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage links and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced sweet potatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Add the sliced onion, Brussels sprouts, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables start to become tender.
Stir in the sliced apple, chicken broth, thyme, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts are fully tender.
Slice the cooked sausages into 1-inch pieces and return them to the skillet. Gently toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
