Today’s Lunch: Sausage w/ Jalapenos

I made a nice lunch today, some spicy sausage. I’ve got a bunch of Jalapenos growing in my back yard so I’ve been trying to use them instead of black pepper. They really work well with a bit of bratwurst:

  1. Put a little olive oil in a frying pan, turn the heat to medium high.
  2. Slice up a sausage and cook it until it’s nice and done, with some burnt edges.
  3. Slice half a zucchini and half an onion and throw them in the pan.
  4. Add a couple of leaves of fresh basil and some salt and pepper.
  5. Next slice a bit of Jalapeno and add it to the mix. You can control how spicy you want the dish by controlling how long you cook the pepper. I used a tiny green Jalapeno and a tiny red one
  6. After everything is looking like it’s half cooked pour some vodka or wine in the pan, enough to barely cover the bottom.
  7. Put a lid on the pan and cook until the vodka has reduced itself to a sweet spicy sauce.

Enjoy! This would be good on top of some rice too…
