We Love Sausage

During the summer at the Farmers Markets you will find delicious Zucchini and Tomatoes. Pair these delicious ingredients with some Circle B Ranch Sweet Italian Sausage.

Ingredients

  • 6 links sweet Italian sausage*
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil*
  • 4 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons fresh oregano, finely chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried oregano)
  • 1 pound zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3/4 pound mixed red and yellow cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • Salt and pepper

Directions

  1. Prepare sausages according to package directions, either in a sauté pan or on the grill. While they are cooking, heat olive oil in a large heavy sauté pan over medium high heat. Add garlic and oregano, stir for a few seconds, then add zucchini and cook 3 to 5 minutes.

  2. When sausages are cooked, cut into large bite-sized pieces and add to pan along with tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper. Continue to sauté until tomatoes are just softened, about 1 minute more.

  3. Transfer to a large platter and serve.
