Italian Sausage Garden Skillet

Italian Sausage Garden Skillet with fresh zucchini, sun gold cherry tomatoes, spinach, green onions or scallions and Italian sausage. Great for breakfast, brunch or any time of day!

Zucchini and tomatoes are coming on strong in the garden right now. My husband, Steve, and I are really enjoying the Sun Gold cherry tomatoes. These tiny orange bites of deliciousness grow fast and taste like they’ve been injected with sugar! They add tremendous color and taste to the skillet but most of the time, they don’t make it that far. We just eat them by the handful on our way back from picking them.

Serves 2-3

Time: 10-15 minutes

Ingredients

12 oz Italian Sausage links, sliced into bite sized rounds I use Aidells’ Italian Style Smoked Chicken Sausage. (Note: these do contain dairy)
1 ½ to 2 ups Zucchini, diced
¼ cup Green Onion, chopped
2 handfuls (about 2 cups) Fresh Spinach
½ cup Cherry Tomatoes, sliced in half
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Kosher or Sea Salt & Black Pepper to taste
1 2-finger pinch of Kelp Powder, optional

Directions

Heat skillet and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil,
Brown sausage on both sides for about 2 minutes.
Add zucchini and green onions to the pan and continue cooking until zucchini becomes tender.
Add a 2-finger pinch of kosher or sea salt, black pepper and optional Kelp Powder
Add 2 big heaping handfuls of spinach to the pan. Don’t worry if the pan is over full. In a couple of minutes, the spinach will begin to cook down and you will be able to stir it into the mix.
Once mixture is cooked and spinach fully wilted and incorporated, remove from heat and add cherry tomatoes. Lest rest for 3 to 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
