Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound smoked sausage or kielbasa
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large green bell pepper
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 cups pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)
- 1 cup pineapple juice (reserved from canned pineapple or fresh)
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups cooked rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.
Core and slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips. Peel and slice the yellow onion into thin wedges.
If using canned pineapple, drain the pineapple chunks and reserve 1 cup of juice.
In a small bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, cornstarch, and water. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage slices and cook for 3–4 minutes, flipping halfway through, until lightly browned. Remove the sausage and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add the bell peppers and onion, and cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Add the pineapple chunks to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Return the browned sausage to the skillet. Pour the sauce over the sausage and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly.
Reduce the heat to medium and simmer the mixture for 4–5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and everything is heated through.
Serve the Polynesian Sausage Supper over cooked rice, if desired. Enjoy!
