Ingredients
- 1 Lb. Italian sausage (mild or hot, sliced into rounds)
- 1½ Lb. yellow potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
- ½ Lb. fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 cup onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup dry white wine (for deglazing)
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Sauté the aromatics:Heat olive oil in a large pan or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until it begins to soften. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute or two until fragrant.
- Add the potatoes:Stir in the diced potatoes and cook for about 8–10 minutes, letting them get golden on the edges while stirring occasionally.
- Add the sausage:Add the sliced Italian sausage directly into the skillet with the potatoes. Continue cooking for 8–10 minutes, allowing the sausage to brown and release its flavor into the potatoes.
- Deglaze the pan:Pour in a splash of white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.Let it simmer for a minute or two until slightly reduced.
- Simmer with stock and green beans:Add the chicken stock, green beans, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cover and cook for 6–8 minutes, or until the green beans are tender and the potatoes are fully cooked.
- Finish and serve:Uncover, toss everything together, and cook for another minute or two to let the flavors blend. Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of grated parmesan if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
