Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian Sausage (Mild or Hot)
- 2 Cups Pumpkin, Peeled and Cubed
- 1 Medium Onion, Chopped
- 2 Garlic Cloves, Minced
- 1 Tbl Fresh Sage Leaves, Chopped
- 1 Tsp Fresh Thyme Leaves
- 1/2 Tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1/4 Tsp Salt
- 1/2 Cup Chicken Broth
- 2 Tbl Olive Oil
- Sage Leaves for Garnish
Instructions
- Cook the Sausage: In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage rounds and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the Pumpkin and Herbs: Add the cubed pumpkin to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pumpkin starts to soften and brown. Stir in the chopped sage, thyme leaves, black pepper, and salt.
- Combine and Simmer: Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and stir to combine. Pour in the chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the pumpkin is tender and the flavors have melded together.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh sage leaves before serving.
