- 3 cups Baby Spinach

- 12 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 small lemon, juiced
- 1 red pepper, pan seared, sliced in thick pieces
- 1 yellow pepper, roasted, sliced in thick pieces

- 1 sprig fresh oregano
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 1 sprig thyme
- salt and pepper, to taste
- parmesan cheese
- Next to how yummy and good for you this dish is, what I love about it is how incredibly easy it is to make.
- And fast too.
- When preparing meats, fish, poultry (all animals), my suggestion is to forgo the usual market aisles and seek out the specialists butchers, fish market guys, etc.
- These professionals can educate you on all the wonders of farming, buying, special cuts and preparing meat, thus making your meal and life exponentially better.
- I like Italian sausages (the pork kind), because they tend to be spicy and thats my palette.
- Of course, you can find a mild sausage, which is why having a dialogue with your meat dealer is so importanto:).
- The sausages take about 13 minutes to cook, stove top, so I usually get them started after Ive added the olive oil, garlic and onion to a separate pan (on low heat) for the vegetables and beans.
- As they cook/saute/get periodically rolled around the sauce pan, I work on the veggies.
- After the garlic and onions start to brown, add the beans, then the spinach.
- Ok, so you get the picture.
- The last vegetable to be added should be the peppers because they have essentially already been cooked/grilled.
- (a little cheat here sometimes when I visit the farmers market I buy in bulk and spend a few hours on a weekend afternoon cooking up stuff which I will freeze or jar and eat later...case in point:) Toss regularly and once the vegetables are done (the spinach is cooked), add the lemon juice, salt, pepper and fresh herbs to taste.
- Slice sausages at a diagonal and toss with veggies and beans almost like a salad.
- Add Parmesan and mangia!
- To the Table: Dont forget the wine and remote.
