Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup pomegranate seeds
- 12 ounces sausage (mild or spicy as preferred)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced red onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon (to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and swirl to coat the pan.
Add the sausage to the skillet, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until browned and fully cooked. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced red onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, and ground cinnamon. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spices are fragrant.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until wilted.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix well. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.
Turn off the heat and stir in the pomegranate seeds and lemon juice for a burst of freshness and sweetness.
Serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. This dish can be enjoyed on its own or served over rice, couscous, or alongside crusty bread.
