Summer Andouille Sausage & Veggie Skillet

This is a great summer dish especially if you are like me and your garden is producing more zucchinis than you know what to do with.

Ingredients

• 14oz Andouille Sausage, sliced

• 1 red onion, diced

• 3 cloves of garlic, minced

• 3 Tablespoons for olive oil

• 1 red bell pepper, diced

• 1 orange bell pepper, diced

• 1 - 2 zucchini, diced

• 2 fresh cobs of corn (or 1 can of corn, rinsed and drained)

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• Salt and Pepper to taste

Basil Crema

• 1/2 cup mayo

• 1/4 cup sour cream

• 1 jalapeno (remove the top and seeds)

• 1/3 cup fresh basil

• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro

• Juice from 1 lime

• 1 Tablespoon of olive oil

Steps

1. Put all the Basil Crema ingredients in the blender and mix well. Set in the fridge until ready to serve.

2. In a large pan sauté the red onion and garlic with 1 - 2 Tablespoons of olive oil for 3 - 5 minutes.

3. In the same pan add the diced Sausage cooking for 3 - 5 additional minutes.

4. Add the red and orange bell pepper.

5. Toss everything in another Tablespoon of olive oil, the garlic powder and salt and pepper.

6. Mix well and cover turning the heat to low.

7. In a different skillet heat a Tablespoon of olive oil and put the diced zucchini and corns on the cob. Let them cook getting a little crispy if desired and rotating so all sides are cooked.

8. Once the corn is fully cooked, remove the corn from the cob and mix into the pan with everything else.

9. Serve over rice with the basil crema.

Tips

• If you are in a hurry you can skip the corn on the cob and just use a can of corn. Just put it directly into the pan with the sausage vs the skillet.

• You can also grill the corn if you prefer.

• When I make rice I always prefer Jasmin rice and add garlic powder and onion powder to make it more flavorful (I would start with 1/4 teaspoon each and go from there).
