Skillet Sausages With Black Eyed Peas Romano Beans And Tomatoes Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pot, over medium heat, render the sausage for 5 minutes. Stir in the onions, salt, cayenne, garlic, bay leaves, thyme and parsley. Saute for 5 minutes, or until the onions are wilted. Stir in the chicken stock, peas and garlic. Bring the liquid up to a simmer and cook for 1 1/2 hours, or until the peas are tender. Spoon the peas and sausage in the center of a shallow bowl. Garnish with green onions. Serve with cornbread muffins.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Remove from the pan; cool slightly before cutting into 1/4-in. slices; return to the pan. Add zucchini and onion; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the zucchini is tender. Serve with rice or pasta.

Steps:

• Make a bouquet garni with the thyme, parsley and one of the bay leaves by tying them up together in a bundle. Pour the chicken stock into a large pot, add the bouquet garni and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Add the beans, return to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered, until beans are tender, about 45 minutes. Remove the bouquet garni, and strain the beans. Reserve the liquid.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter with the olive oil in a pan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium, add the celery, the carrot, the onion, the remaining bay leaf and the cloves, and saute until the vegetables are softened, about 10 minutes.
• Squeeze the juice from the tomato into the pan before adding the rest of it in one piece. Cook 2 more minutes, remove from heat and remove the cloves and bay leaf. Combine with the beans.
• Crowd the sausages into a small pan, and cook over medium-low heat, rotating frequently, until brown in the center, about 45 minutes. Break some of the larger pieces of sausage with a spatula before adding them and their juices to the bean mixture, adjusting with salt and about 1 cup of the reserved bean cooking liquid. Serve with polenta.
