More wine and sausage!

I love sausage and all the different kinds out in the market now. It seems sausage makers have finally decided to get creative. We bought some chicken sausage this weekend with spinach, fontina cheese and roasted garlic. Sounds pretty fancy, right?

Last night on the drive home from work, I was thinking of ways to cook the sausage…creative ways. I decided to stop at the market and buy some brussel sprouts to pair it with the sausage.

In that old familiar way…I also thought about how I can minimize mess and  clean up, so I decided to cook everything together in one pan.

Prep time was about 10 minutes or less. I peeled and chopped the brussel sprouts and chopped the sausages. The cremini mushrooms were already chopped (I love when things are already prepped).

I added a drizzle of olive oil with chopped garlic and started cooking the brussel sprouts with some cracked pepper and salt. I then added a bit of sauvignon blanc because it was what we had in the fridge. At this point, I also added a few sprigs of Thyme.  As for wine and what type to buy that’s up to you…but I totally recommend a brand of wines called Barefoot. It’s pretty well-priced and every type of wine we’ve tried from them has never ever been a let-down!

I added the sausages and the cremini mushrooms and added more wine and more salt and pepper to taste.

I let the sausage and vegetables simmer in the pan for about 15 minutes.

This dish was paired up with some garlic butter rice.
