  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

13.5 oz Andouille Sausage, sliced about 1/2 in thick

1/3 cup diced red onion

1 red pepper, chopped

1 orange pepper, chopped

2 small to medium zucchini, sliced and quartered

1/2 tsp garlic salt

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/8 tsp fresh cracked black pepper

2 ears of corn

Additional sea salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste

For topping: 1/8 cup of basil and cilantro each

Optional: Poblano or Jalapeno pepper for those who like a little more heat or spice.

For the Basil Cilantro Crema:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup sour cream

1/3 cup basil, packed

1/4 cup cilantro, packed

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1/2 tsp garlic salt

1/4 tsp white pepper

Juice from half a lime (About 1/21 tbsp)

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced Andouille sausage and cook until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.

  • In the same skillet, add the diced red onion, red pepper, orange pepper, and zucchini. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

  • While the vegetables cook, cut the kernels off the corn cobs and add them to the skillet. Season with garlic salt, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

  • Return the sausage to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

  • For the basil cilantro crema, blend the mayonnaise, sour cream, basil, cilantro, olive oil, garlic salt, white pepper, and lime juice in a blender or food processor until smooth.

  • Serve the skillet mixture with a generous drizzle of the basil cilantro crema on top. Garnish with fresh basil and cilantro.

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheating: Reheat on the stovetop or microwave. Add a splash of water or broth if the skillet looks dry.

Vegetarian Option: Replace sausage with extra vegetables like mushrooms or sweet potatoes.

Dairy-Free Option: Use coconut cream and vegan mayo in place of sour cream and mayonnaise for the crema.
