Serve with rice or pasta.


Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil (Affiliate Link)
  • 2 cups broccoli leaves (chopped or sliced) remove stems
  • 2 large yellow, orange, or green pepper (sliced)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 2 cloves of garlic sliced or minced or 1 tsp of granulated garlic
  • 1 lb sausage sliced or whole or remove skin
  • 1 tsp dried thyme (Affiliate Link)
  • 1 cup tomato sauce (Affiliate Link)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cut into pieces if you want. It will speed up the cooking time. Brown sausage pieces in 1 Tbsp of hot olive oil (Affiliate Link). About 10-15 minutes or until brown. Then remove from skillet onto a plate. Let sit. Pour out excess fat if you want.
  2. 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 (Affiliate Link) into a 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.
  3. Then add the tomato sauce (Affiliate Link) with the herbs, salt, and pepper. And let the tomato sauce (Affiliate Link) heat for a few minutes. Be sure to stir in the tomato sauce (Affiliate Link). Cook until the broccoli leaves are wilted - about 5-7 minutes.

Notes

I served it on a bed of quinoa or rice.  You can use instant or regular whichever works for you.  I like it with a bit of parmesan cheese or romano cheese on top. Yum!

 

You can use turkey or pork sausage.
