Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 510kcal
Ingredients
- 3-4 Andouille sausages or a mild sausage
- 2 medium leeks
- 4-5 medium potatoes Yukon gold or red potatoes
- 1 pound green peas fresh or frozen
- 1 cup white wine
- ⅓ cup water
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1-2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil
- 2 tablespoons of fresh chopped parsley or 1 teaspoon of dried parsley
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Notes
- Tip: For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when sautéing the leeks.
- Ingredient Swap: If you don’t have white wine on hand, substitute it with chicken or vegetable broth for a non-alcoholic option.
- Storage: This dish tastes even better the next day! Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Quick Clean-Up: Use a non-stick or cast iron skillet for easier clean-up and to prevent sticking.
