Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz cooked sausage (cajun, andouille, or smoked, sliced into coins)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large red bell pepper (diced)
- 1 large zucchini (sliced)
- 2 cups corn kernels (from 3 ears of cooked corn, or frozen)
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- fresh cilantro (chopped, for topping)
- salt (to taste, optional)
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.
- Slice cooked sausage into 1/2-inch coins and add to skillet. Cook undisturbed for 5 minutes until golden brown on one side.
- Flip sausage coins and cook for 3 more minutes on the other side. Remove to a plate, leaving some oil in the skillet and reserving any extra.
- Add diced red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for about 4 minutes over medium heat until softened with slightly charred edges. Add reserved oil if needed to prevent sticking. Remove to plate with sausage.
- Add sliced zucchini to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes over medium heat until tender-crisp. Add reserved oil if needed.
- If using fresh corn, stand each cob upright in a large bowl and slice downward with a sharp knife to remove the kernels.
- Combine cooked sausage, bell pepper, zucchini, and corn kernels back in the same skillet. Mix well.
- Add reserved oil and chili powder to the skillet mixture. Reheat on low heat for 2-3 minutes to meld flavors.
- Taste before adding salt, as sausage is usually quite salty. Season with salt only if needed.
- Remove from heat and top with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
