Sausage Stir-Fry

 

This is a really simple meal that I tend to make when I get home late from work and don't want to spend a long time making dinner. One of the nice things about this stir-fry is that you can use whatever you have on hand to make it. I always put in onions and garlic, but you could add zucchini, tomatoes or mushrooms too.

Being on a starch free diet, it can be hard to trust sausages since many of them have starchy fillers. Trader Joe's sells a lot of really good options without the fillers. Our favorites are the garlic chicken sausages and the turkey kielbasa.

Sausage Stir-Fry
serves 3-4
a package of sausages (usually contains 4-5), cut into bite-size pieces
medium onion, cut into thin slices
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
a handful of fresh basil or cilantro
white wine (just a splash)
olive oil

Add olive oil to a large frying pan and heat over medium/high heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until tender and golden. If your sausages are uncooked, add them with the onions. If they're already cooked, wait to add them until the onions have become tender. Add the sausage and herb and sauté until the sausages are browned. Add a splash of white wine, cover the dish and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Uncover and cook a few more minutes until the wine is absorbed/evaporated. Serve with a fresh salad or another vegetable side.
