Ingredients
Scale
Produce
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- ¾ pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Meat
- 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
Pantry
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup water or chicken broth
Instructions
- Brown the sausage: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the smoked sausage slices and cook until browned on both sides, about 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside to keep warm.
- Sauté the potatoes: In the same skillet, add the halved or quartered baby potatoes. Sauté the potatoes for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they develop a golden brown color and start to soften.
- Cook aromatics: Add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook together for 2 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add green beans and spices: Stir in the trimmed green beans along with the paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the vegetables evenly with the seasonings.
- Steam vegetables: Pour in ¼ cup water or chicken broth to add moisture, then cover the skillet with a lid. Let the mixture steam for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the green beans and potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Combine sausage and finish cooking: Remove the lid and return the browned sausage slices to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook uncovered for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the sausage to heat through and the liquid to reduce slightly.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve the sautéed potatoes, green beans, and smoked sausage warm as a satisfying gluten-free main course.
Notes
- You can substitute kielbasa, andouille, or any fully cooked sausage for the smoked sausage.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of apple cider vinegar before steaming.
- This dish works well as a one-pan dinner or a hearty side dish.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste depending on the saltiness of the sausage.
