Cut: Pork Sausage

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes
Number of Servings: 2

Ingredient

• 2 Tbsp (30 mL) canola oil

• 1/2 lb (250 g) pork sausage, casing removed

• 1 medium red bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into 1- inch pieces

• 1 small onion, sliced

• 1 cloves garlic, minced

• 3 cups (375 mL) baby spinach

• 2 large eggs

• 1/4 tsp (1 mL) red pepper flakes

• salt and black pepper to taste

• hot sauce, optional

• cilantro, for garnish

Directions:

1. In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 1 Tbsp (15 mL) of the oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and drain off any excess fat in the pan.

2. Return skillet to heat and add the remaining 1 Tbsp (15 mL) of oil. Saute red pepper, onion and garlic for about 3-4 minutes or until onions are soft; stirring occasionally.

3. Add spinach to skillet, stir to combine and cook until wilted; about 1 minute. Season with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Return the sausage to the pan and cook for 2 minutes more.

4. Make 2 wells in the centre of the mixture and crack eggs into each well. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook until egg whites are completely set about 2 minutes, depending on how runny you want the yoke. Serve immediately!
