Roasted Sausage and Proscuittio with Veggies #recipe from Linda Wiken, author

It seems that these cold, damp days of fall invited me to use my oven a lot. Could it possibly be because of the added warmth in the kitchen?

Whatever reason, I'm always on the lookout for new recipes and I couldn't resist this one, found online at Food52. Of course, I've tweaked it, changing  and adding ingredients.

I have to admit that I quite enjoyed the finished meal, just adding rice to make it a relatively quick and easy dish to prepare.

I added the prosciutto, because I had some on hand, and I enjoy the flavor. I also thought it would add just the right amount of saltiness. I chose Andouille sausage for the heat and decided to leave out the suggested red pepper flakes. I think I could have added some without make it over the top.

Instead of using broccoli, I chose brussel sprouts because they roast so nicely. And, I added some sliced green olives, again because I like the flavor.

And, for the first time, I used a Myers lemon. I've heard about them but not tried them before. This time, there they were, in the produce department of my store. Love the slight bit of sweetness.

This  is a recipe I will use again and although I cut it in half to serve 2, I'll try it with guests next time.


What you'll need:

1 link of Andouille sausage or other good quality pork sausage
3 slices prosciutto, sliced
1/2 doz. brussel sprouts, sliced in half
1/2 medium fennel, cored and sliced thinly
4 large green olives, sliced
1 small lemon, zested and  1/2 tsp. lemon juice
1 1/2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. whole-grain mustard
freshly ground pepper








What to do:

Preheat over to 425F.

In a small baking dish, place the fennel, brussel sprouts, and  in a single layer.  In a small dish, combine the olive oil, lemon juice and zest, whole-grain mustard, and pepper. If you want to add salt, this is where you do it. Pour the mixture over the other ingredients and mix well. Rearrange in a single layer.


Remove the sausage from its casing and cut into small pieces; dice the prosciutto, and add both to the baking dish.


Place in oven for about 20 minutes, stirring half-way through.  Turn on the broiler until the dish reaches the amount of char you enjoy.
 
Serve over rice, pasta, or beans.


Enjoy!
