Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Linguica sausage
- 1 pound Green beans
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash and trim the green beans, cutting off the ends. Set aside.
Slice the linguica sausage into 1/4-inch rounds. Peel and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Add the sliced linguica to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it starts to brown and release its oils. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and cook for 3 minutes until softened and slightly translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the green beans to the skillet and stir to coat them in the seasoning mixture.
Pour in the chicken broth, then season with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 6-8 minutes, or until the green beans are tender but still crisp.
Return the browned linguica sausage to the skillet and stir to combine with the green beans. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the sausage through.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve hot as a main dish or alongside rice or crusty bread. Enjoy!
