    Sausage Peppers and Broccoli Leaves Recipe

    This is a yummy dinner, especially if you are a gardener and make broccoli.  What to do with those broccoli leaves?  Did you know you can eat them?  I made a recipe last season for the first time and loved it. Here's the recipe: Spaghetti with Broccoli Leaves Recipe. This time, I am going to do another favorite in our home. This sausage peppers and broccoli leaves recipe is so easy to make. Great for those weeknight meals.

    Note: we reworked this recipe to make it easier for you to make. The modifications have really made this an even more delicious recipe.

    Sausage Peppers and Broccoli Leaves Recipe Ingredients:

    2 Tbsp Olive Oil
    2 cups broccoli leaves (chopped or sliced) remove stems
    2 large yellow, orange, or green pepper (sliced)

    2 cloves of garlic sliced or minced or 1 tsp of granulated garlic
    1 lb sausage (pork or turkey) sliced or whole or remove skin
    1 tsp dried thyme
    1 cup tomato sauce

    Cut up the broccoli and take out the stem, like the image below. Add cherry tomatoes (if you want), and slice the peppers. Then, add 1 Tbsp of olive oil into hot skillet. Cut up the sausage into one-inch pieces, if you have not done it already and then return it back to the skillet with a little bit of oil.  Then add the broccoli, cherry tomatoes, peppers to the skillet with the sausage.

      I don't have a garden, and when I buy broccoli, all the leaves have been trimmed off. Could you make this with baby spinach or other dark greens instead?

        Oh yes! You can use any dark green leafy veggies as a replacement for the broccoli leaves. I would stick with swiss chard or baby spinach. I have tried this dish with both of them. Make sure you put extra spinach leaves in because it shrinks down. Let me know how it goes.
