Imagine this: after a week of different meals, we've got some veggies left in the fridge. What's the plan? Well, we're in for a kitchen adventure, and it's a breeze!
Here's how it goes down: we chop up those colorful veggies into hearty 1-inch pieces, get a bit creative, and toss in a chunky kielbasa or andouille. Drizzle some olive oil, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and bam—flavor party!
Keeping it flexible here! Feel free to choose any flavor kielbasa or andouille rope sausage that tickles your taste buds. In this recipe we went with the Hillshire Farm Cajun Style Andouille Smoked Sausage Rope because it is what we had on hand and those Cajun vibes really spiced things up.
Now, here's the beauty of it all—it's a one-pan wonder. No fuss, and definitely no mountain of dishes.
Eat it just as is or pair it with a grain:
Quinoa: Nutty and quick, it's a great match for our veggie and kielbasa mix.
Brown Rice: Classic and comforting, its nutty vibes complement our one-pan wonder.
Couscous: Lightning-fast and mild in taste, it's a quickie option that pairs perfectly.
Barley: Hearty and versatile, it soaks up flavors like a champ.
TIP: This recipe is all about using what we've got on hand. Veggies cook at their own pace, so we might need to tweak when we add them or how long they cook. For instance, remember those mushrooms? We added them later to keep their hearty texture, while the Brussels sprouts and butternut squash needed some extra oven lovin'. Flexibility is the name of the game!
Yields: 4-6 Servings (depending on how many veggies your throwing in mix)
