Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 (5-to 6-ounces) fresh pork sausages
1/3 cup water
3/4 cup chopped sweet onion
1 medium fennel bulb, chopped
1 cup grape tomatoes (5 oz)
2 ears corn, kernels cut from cob
1/4 cup coarsely chopped dill

Steps:

  • Prick sausages a few times. Simmer with water in a 12-inch heavy skillet, covered, over medium heat 7 minutes. Uncover and cook, turning occasionally, until water has evaporated and sausages are well browned and cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes more. (You may need to add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet, depending on sausages.) Transfer sausages to a plate and pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet if necessary.
  • Cook onion, fennel, and tomatoes with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in skillet over medium heat, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until onion and fennel are crisp-tender and tomatoes are soft and beginning to burst, about 7 minutes. Add corn and dill and sauté 2 minutes.
  • Slice sausages and serve with vegetables.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, seasonal vegetables. This will ensure that your sauté is packed with flavor.
  • Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or wok. This will give the vegetables plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Heat the skillet or wok over medium-high heat. This will help the vegetables brown and caramelize.
  • Add the vegetables to the skillet or wok in batches. This will prevent them from steaming and becoming soggy.
  • Stir the vegetables frequently. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Season the vegetables with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will enhance their flavor.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp. This will ensure that they retain their nutrients and flavor.
  • Serve the sauté immediately. This will ensure that it is enjoyed at its best.

Conclusion:

A summer vegetable sauté is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy the bounty of the season. This dish is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be easily customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
