→ Main Ingredients
01 -
2 cups cooked corn kernels (from 3 ears of corn)
02 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
03 -
340 grams cooked sausage (such as Cajun, Andouille, or smoked sausage)
04 -
1 large red bell pepper, diced
05 -
1 large zucchini, sliced
06 -
0.5 teaspoon chili powder
07 -
Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
# Steps:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Slice the cooked sausage into coins and add to the skillet. Sear for 5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for an additional 3 minutes until browned. Transfer the sausage to a large plate, retaining some oil in the skillet. Remove any excess oil to a heat-proof bowl and reserve.
02 -
Add the diced red bell pepper to the same skillet. Cook for approximately 4 minutes on medium heat, adding a portion of the reserved oil if needed to prevent sticking. Remove the cooked bell pepper to the plate with the sausage.
03 -
Introduce the sliced zucchini to the empty skillet. Sauté on medium heat for about 3 minutes, utilizing reserved oil as necessary to avoid sticking.
04 -
Slice the cooked corn kernels off the cob using a sharp knife.
05 -
Return the cooked sausage, bell pepper, zucchini, and corn kernels to the skillet. Mix thoroughly. Drizzle in reserved oil, sprinkle with chili powder, and gently reheat over low heat until warmed through. Remove from heat and top with freshly chopped cilantro.
# Notes:
01 -
Taste before adding salt; many sausages are adequately seasoned.
02 -
For meal prep, allow the skillet to cool completely before storing in airtight containers.
