This is one of my most favorite meals of all time. It is an adaptation of my friend Carrie’s recipe and it is so tasty, spicy, sweet and filling that I want to encourage you to try it.
2 spicy sausage links (I use Isa’s recipe)
1 large onion, diced
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 large red pepper, seeded and chopped
2 jalapenos, seeded and chopped
1 can crushed pineapple
1/2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1 mango, diced
2 cups mango juice
1 handful of cilantro, chopped
salt & pepper to taste
This is a dish that I usually do the prep while I am cooking (I chop the onion while cooking the sausage and do the peppers while the onion is going) so times are not exact. Make or buy the sausage ahead of time and start the rice or other whole grain first.
Fry sausage in 1/2 tablespoon olive oil until brown. Remove from pan. Saute the onion on medium high heat in the same pan you used for the sausage for about two minutes. Add red pepper, jalapeno and then garlic and sautee for two more minutes. Add two cups of juice (and the juice from the canned pineapple). Reduce for 5 minutes. Add sausage back in. Cook for 3 minutes. Add pineapple and cumin, and curry powder. cook for 5 minutes. Add mango, cilantro, and salt. Cook for 1 minute and taste for seasonings. Serve over rice.
