Week Three: Recipe One

I found an old package of smoked sausage in the fridge and thought a Cajun stir fry would be good. However, when I checked the date on the package it was from back in Jun. :) So, I threw it out and ran to the store to get another one. I got the chicken smoked sausage by Hillshire Farm. It had the lowest calorie and fat count. I have to say that I thought it was perfect in this recipe.




Cajun Sausage & Veggies

16 oz Smoked Sausage sliced
15 oz can diced tomatoes
1 med zucchini sliced - BOUNTY (Italian Pack)
1 med yellow squash sliced - BOUNTY
5 med mushrooms sliced - BOUNTY (Italian Pack)
1/2 cup diced onions - BOUNTY (Italian Pack)
1 clove of garlic minced - BOUNTY (Italian Pack)
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
1 Tbsp fresh parsley minced - BOUNTY (Italian Pack)

Warm olive oil in skillet over medium high heat. Add onion, garlic and sausage. Sprinkle Cajun seasoning over mixture. Cook until sausage is browned. Add sliced veggies and diced tomatoes w/ juice. Cook until squash is softened. Serve over cooked rice.

I also made the cilantro lime rice recipe with a slight modification. Instead of cilantro, I used some of the parsley from my Italian basket. It wasn't as good as the cilantro lime rice, but it worked perfectly for this recipe.
