Ingredients

  • Garlic (3 clove)
  • Cajun Style Andouille Smoked Pork Sausage by Aidells (4 link)
  • Zucchini, Raw (1 large)
  • Coarse Kosher Salt by Morton (¼ tsp)
  • Green Beans (string Beans), Raw (385 gram)
  • Lemon Juice (1 tablespoon)
  • Parsley, Fresh (1 tablespoon)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large cast iron skillet until very hot, add 1 tbsp avocado oil, swirl the pan. Add the garlic and stir quickly, then immediately add the sausage links.
  2. Brown on the first side for a couple minutes before touching them, then stir them and brown them on the other side for a couple minutes. Remove sausage to a plate.
  3. Add zucchini and cook until brown (there now should be enough oil from the sausages to brown the vegetables). Season with ¼ tsp kosher salt.
  4. Add green beans and stir briefly. Add lemon juice and stir to deglaze the pan. Allow green beans to cook to desired doneness. Season with Old Bay and add sausage back to the pan.
  5. Add chopped parsley to finish.
