Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold or other yellow flesh potatoes, scrubbed, cut into bite-sized (1 1/2-inch) chunks.
- 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 12 ounces smoked sausages of your choice, cut crosswise into 1/4 inch slices
- 2 bell peppers, any color but green, seeds and ribs removed, cut into 1/2 inch strips
- 2 medium yellow onions, peeled, halved, and cut into 1/2 inch slices
- 3/4 pound fresh green beans (about 4 handfuls), washed, root ends trimmed off
- 3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper (or substitute fresh ground black pepper)
- 2-3 tablespoons pomegranate molasses (or substitute balsamic vinegar)
Instructions
- Put the potatoes into a medium-sized pot, and cover with water by an inch. Add a teaspoon of salt. Set pot over high heat and as soon as it comes to a boil, lower to a gentle boil and cook potatoes for 10 minutes or until they are cooked and tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside.
- Drop the green beans into a pot of boiling salted water. Once the water returns to boil, cook the beans for 2-3 minutes until bright green and just tender (not mushy). Drain and plunge beans into cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausages and cook, flipping occasionally, until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes total. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. (don't wash the skillet - you'll use it for the peppers and onions)
- Put an additional tablespoon of oil in the skillet. Add onions and peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and browned in spots, about 8 minutes. Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Transfer sausages, green beans and potatoes to the skillet with the onions and peppers. Drizzle on 3 tablespoons olive oil and 3 tablespoons pomegranate molasses (or balsamic vinegar). Season with 1 teaspoon salt or to taste and a fresh ground black pepper, to taste. Toss everything gently to combine, over a medium flame, until heated through. Divide among bowls or plates. Enjoy!
