Smoked Sausage and Vegetables

Hillshire Farm has just stated they will NOT use gestational crates in raising their pigs. Please buy their products! Please boycott Tyson for their continued use of these horrid devices that don't even let the animals turn around in their crates their entire life. Horrible and inhumane treatment. The best way to protest is not to buy their products and spread the word about the conditions their animals have to live in. And know too that → stressed animals = bad meat.

5-7oz (per person) Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage

   red cabbage, onion, carrots
   enough for your hungry people

baby Yukon Gold or fingerling potatoes if you want them

Start cooking the sausage and carrots in a non-stick pan with a couple tablespoons of extra virgin oil and Balsamic vinegar. This will carmalize quickly so when the sausage starts to brown, turn down the heat and cover for a few minutes. Add remaining vegetables and cook to desired doneness. This is actually a meal in itself or you can add pickles, olives, bread and butter, a green salad or try my Fried Green Tomatoes (below). . .Lin
