Sabatino’s All Natural Smoked Mozzarella with Artichokes and Garlic Chicken Sausage

Posted in Food/Cooking by

sabatinos-sausage-img_20161115_194946743I was first introduced to Sabatino’s products during a shopping trip at Costco. One of the things I love about Costco is the samples. That saves you from wondering if you’re wasting your money on a lot of something that you’re going to hate.

I really do like these sausages. The consistency is excellent, and they cook up very nicely on the grill. I can’t really taste the artichoke, I’ll admit, because if you are familiar with this blog at all, you know I have a freakish sensitivity to spices. Normally, paprika is a foe of mine, but I don’t even taste it in this product. I do, however, taste the pepper. No img_20161115_122313020_hdr-sabatinos-sausagenormal human will have a problem with it, I guarantee you, and it actually adds a nice “bite” to it.

There is no MSG, gluten, soy, or fillers in these sausages, and all the ingredients are pronounceable. These remind me of one of my favorite foods by Bistro Sensations which, for some reason, disappeared off the face of the planet. With that likeness in mind, these are great in an egg scramble or omelette, in a quiche, with pasta, or on a sandwich.

INGREDIENTS: See the image below.

Easy Gluten-Free Sausage Skillet with Rice Recipe

Posted in Food/Cooking, Health, Recipes by

sausage rice skilletHere is a quick, easy, and tasty gluten-, MSG-, soy- and dairy-free dinner recipe!  It takes about 10 minutes to prepare and 30 to 50 minutes to cook, depending on what kind of rice you use.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 Links of Aidells Chicken & Apple Smoked Chicken Sausages (2 per person)
  • ½ cup of Brown Rice (you can use white if you want, but I prefer brown)
  • Broccoli (approx 1 cup of florets, fresh or frozen)
  • ¼ of an Onion

INSTRUCTIONS:

Start the water to boil for the rice – add salt and/or butter or olive oil if desired.  Meanwhile, slice up the sausage, chop the onion and cut up the broccoli to the size(s) you desire.

Once the water is boiling, add the rice and turn it down.  Cook to the package directions which are usually from 30 to 50 minutes.  With 20 minutes of cooking time left on the rice, warm up a large skillet; add the sausage and onion.  Stir as needed.  10 minutes before the rice is done, put broccoli in the steamer (or your preferred method of cooking).

About 5 minutes before the rice is done, turn up the heat to brown the sausage.  This chicken sausage is lean and should not need to be drained.  Once the slices are browned to your satisfaction, add the broccoli and the rice into the skillet.  Stir.

Garnish with slices of cheese or grated parmesan if desired.

Serves 2 people.

NOTE:  you can make a cream-based sauce with the sausage juices if desired.  The sausage has a subtle and tasty flavor that I didn’t want to overpower with a sauce.  Its flavor definitely supports this dish without issue.
