About this recipe
This dish draws inspiration from classic stir-fries popular in various cuisines that combine meat and vegetables for quick dinners. The use of smoky sausages adds a rich depth of flavour, making it satisfying without extensive cooking time.
Method
-
Step 1: Prepare Ingredients
Slice the onions, sausages, and capsicum (bell peppers). Ensure to cut the sausages into rounds for even cooking.
-
Step 2: Heat the Skillet
Place a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and let it heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the ingredients to prevent sticking and allow for proper searing. -
Step 3: Cook the Sausages
Add the sliced sausages to the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until they start browning and become fragrant, stirring occasionally to brown evenly.
Ensure sausages are cooked until golden brown but not burnt; internal temperature should reach at least 75°C for safe consumption. -
Step 4: Add Vegetables and Seasoning
Add the sliced onions and capsicum to the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened but still vibrant. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to taste as they cook.
Keep stirring to avoid burning; the vegetables should retain their crunch while being tender. -
Step 5: Serve
Remove the stir-fry from heat and serve hot. This dish is best paired with rice, quinoa, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
Tips
- For additional flavour, consider adding garlic or herbs like thyme or oregano during cooking.
- Substitute sausages with vegetarian sausages for a plant-based version. Adjust seasoning accordingly.
- Serve with a side of steamed rice or wrap in tortillas for a convenient meal.
