Pork

Mediterranean One Dish Meal

Flavorful
Description

I came up with this recipe one night while improvising with what I had on hand. I love to make simple, healthful, one-dish meals with lots of vegetables. Feta and Greek olives give this one a depth of flavor people seem to love.

Ingredients
  • 3/4 pound italian turkey sausage links, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) no-salt-added diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/4 cup greek olives
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Directions
  1. In a large saucepan coated with cooking spray, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until sausage is browned and onion is tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the tomatoes, olives and oregano; bring to a boil.
  2. Stir in quinoa. Top with spinach; do not stir. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Remove from the heat; fluff with a fork. Sprinkle with cheese.

Cajun Chowder

This Cajun chowder is lost somewhere between gumbo and soup, built from several generic New England clam chowder recipes, spiced up (literally) with cayenne pepper, jalapenos, and Cajun spice, and thickened by a generous helping of dark brown sugar, brown rice, and corn.
