Why Should You Try This Dish
- Nutritious and easy to make: This simple stew provides enough nutrients for a healthy meal, especially in the winter when we want to be satisfied without too many carbs.
- Quick recipe: It is also a great recipe for a quick dinner or a simple meal at the end of the week!
Ingredient Breakdown and Replacements
- Andouille Sausage: This smoky, spicy sausage adds depth and richness to the dish. If you can't find andouille, you can substitute it with chorizo for a similar kick or use a milder smoked sausage if you prefer less heat.
- Leeks: Leeks bring a subtle sweetness and onion-like flavor to the skillet. If leeks are unavailable, you can replace them with onions or shallots, which will give the dish a slightly different but still delicious flavor profile.
- Potatoes: Potatoes add heartiness and make this dish more filling. You can use any variety of potatoes, but Yukon Golds or red potatoes work best for their creamy texture.
- Frozen Green Peas: Peas add a pop of color and sweetness. If you’re not a fan of peas, you can substitute them with frozen green beans or chopped asparagus.
- White Wine: The white wine adds a touch of acidity and complexity to the dish. If you prefer not to cook with alcohol, you can substitute it with chicken broth or vegetable broth, which will still add depth of flavor.
- Parsley: Fresh parsley brightens up the dish at the end. If you don’t have fresh parsley on hand, dried parsley or even fresh herbs like thyme or oregano can work as substitutes.
Step By Step Instructions
Step 1. Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the andouille sausages into rounds and set aside. Clean and chop the leeks into thin slices. Peel and cube the potatoes. Measure out the peas, wine, water, salt, and pepper.
Step 2. Cook the Sausages: Heat the vegetable or olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced sausages and cook until they are browned on both sides, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 3. Add the Leeks: Once the sausages are browned, add the chopped leeks to the skillet. Sauté them until they become translucent and slightly caramelized, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4. Cook the Potatoes: Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet along with the water and white wine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are just tender.
Step 5. Add the Peas: Once the potatoes are nearly cooked, add the frozen green peas to the skillet. Cover again and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the peas are heated through and the potatoes are fully cooked.
Step 6. Finish and Serve: Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If there’s too much liquid, remove the lid and let the dish simmer for a few minutes to reduce the sauce. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
How To Store Leftovers
This Savory Andouille Skillet can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To prevent it from drying out, reheat it in a skillet over medium heat, adding a splash of water or broth if needed.
You can also freeze it. Most stews, soups, and casseroles should be frozen for up to 2 months.
Serving Suggestions
This dish is hearty enough to stand on its own, but it pairs beautifully with a simple green salad or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce. If you’re looking to add more vegetables, a side of roasted Brussels sprouts or steamed broccoli would complement the flavors nicely.
Enjoy!
