Servings: 4 Portions

INGREDIENTS

280g broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
280 cups cauliflower florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
120 Italian hot sausage (approx. 2 pieces), sliced into 0.5cm rounds
10g garlic (1 clove), finely chopped
1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp salt (plus more to taste)

INSTRUCTIONS

Blanch the Vegetables:
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the cauliflower and boil for 3 minutes; remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the broccoli to the same boiling water for 3 minutes, then remove and drain well.

Brown the Sausage:
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced sausage. Cook until well-browned and cooked through, then remove the meat from the pan and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet.

Aromatics and Sauté:
Add the chopped garlic to the remaining fat in the skillet and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the blanched broccoli and cauliflower to the pan and stir-fry for 3 minutes to develop a light golden sear.

Combine:
Add the cooked sausage back into the pan along with the salt. Toss everything together over medium-high heat for 1 final minute to ensure the flavors meld and everything is heated through.

Serve warm straight from the skillet for the best flavor and texture. Fresh, locally harvested broccoli and cauliflower complement the savory Italian hot sausage, creating a simple meal that highlights the quality of local seasonal ingredients.
