Helen's Cuisine Extraordinaire -- PTS


Sausage and friends with red tomato garnish


One of the benefits of living with an accomplished cook is the serendipitous experience of watching and tasting the mundane become the exceptional. Such is the case with the dish above which doesn't really have a name but might be described as fried sausage, cauliflower and friends.  According to the creator the ingredients are:  turkey sausage, fresh cauliflower, 4 sliced fingerling potatoes, one sliced red onion,  fennel seeds, and finally a pinch of red pepper flakes.  Begin by sauteeing onions and potatoes in one tablespoon of canola oil in a frying pan over high heat.  Add sausage mixing well all ingredients.  Simmer 10 minutes.  Add cauliflower with 2 ounces of water and simmer until cauliflower is tender and browned, adding a bit more water if necessary.  Sprinkle fennel seeds and pepper on top and serve.  It's as tasty a meal as it is simple.  My mouth waters just thinking about it once again.
