Pan-Fried Italian Sausage and Fennel Delight
Ingredients
- 1 pound Walmart Marketside Mild Italian Ground Sausage
- 1 medium fennel bulb, thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
1. Prepare Ingredients:
Start by preparing all the ingredients. Slice the fennel bulb thinly, and mince the garlic. Set these aside for quick access during cooking.
2. Heat the Pan:
Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to warm up for about 1-2 minutes until shimmering.
3. Cook the Sausage:
Add the Marketside Mild Italian Ground Sausage to the skillet. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Make sure the sausage is no longer pink and beginning to develop a crispy exterior.
4. Add Fennel and Garlic:
Stir in the sliced fennel and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 3 minutes until the fennel begins to soften and the garlic is fragrant.
5. Season the Dish:
Sprinkle the ground black pepper, smoked paprika, oregano, red pepper flakes, and chili powder over the sausage and fennel mixture. Stir well to combine, ensuring the spices coat everything evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
6. Finish and Serve:
Once everything is well-combined and the fennel is tender, remove the pan from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot as a standalone dish or alongside a fresh salad or crusty bread.
