Sometimes all you want to do is chuck a bunch of chopped vegetables in a pan and cook it for a bit of time before you serve up. This sausage hash is great for a lazy morning breakfast, maybe after a big night for New Year’s Eve.

It doesn’t require much seasoning, just salt, pepper and paprika. I also used a special roasted garlic and pepper spice mix that I have, but it’s not necessary.

If you’re a vegetarian, use a vegetarian sausage instead of a meat one. If you don’t like pork, use turkey, beef or chicken sausage. Whatever works for you. Add the sausage though, it gives a different texture and flavour to the hash. You could also serve it with some fried eggs.

Ingredients

500 grams pork sausage (or sausage of choice)
2 baking potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 cm cubes
1 onion, diced
1 yellow pepper, diced
1 red pepper, diced
1 green pepper, diced
salt
pepper
sweet paprika
roasted garlic spice (if you have it)
olive oil

1. Heat some olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cut the sausages into bite-sized pieces, then add them to the pan. Cook the sausages for 5 – 7 minutes, making sure to turn them over. Cook through, then remove from the pan.
2. Add more oil to the frying pan, over a low heat. Add the diced potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper and paprika. Cook for a further 5 minutes, then add the onion.
3. Add more salt and pepper, and roasted garlic spice if using. Cook for a further 5 minutes. Add the diced peppers. Continue to season to taste.
4. Cook until the potatoes are cooked through. Add the sausage and heat through.
5. Serve hot.
