Chicken Sausages with a Spicy Corn Saute

I don’t know about you, but I might have a little crush on chicken sausages. Especially the sun-dried tomato ones. Actually, any flavor works for my fragile heart.

I’m prepared to make friendship bracelets for the chicken sausages.

I’m prepared to make a mix tape for the chicken sausages.

I’m prepared to take a picture of the chicken sausages, blow it up, hang it on my wall, and sing “Vision of Love” to it.

I’m prepared to be violently handcuffed and drug away to a dingy prison cell for the remainder of my days, all for my undying love of chicken sausages.

Okay so maybe not that last part. But dude, I’ll make a mix tape.

I ain’t skeered.

p.s.  Okay, is it drug or dragged? I can’t ever keep that one straight.

Chicken Sausages with a Spicy Corn Saute:

 

 

What it took for 4:

* 1 package (5 links) sun-dried tomato chicken sausages
* 4 ears corn
* 1 red onion, finely diced (or 4 baby ones)
* 1/2 fresh cayenne pepper, minced
* 3 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
* 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
* 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
* 1/2 tsp coarse salt
* 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper

Grill the sausages over medium-high until plump and browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and chop into bite-sized chunks.

Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add the onions and cayenne and sauté until softened, 4 minutes. Add the garlic and bloom 30 seconds. Add in the corn, season with salt and pepper and cook an additional 5 minutes.

Lastly, toss in the peas and heat through, 2 minutes.

Toss corn saute with chicken sausages and garnish with parsley.

EAT.

    Yum! I recently discovered the magic of the chicken sausage at my local Target. Archer Farms, baby. Here are a couple of suggested jams for the mixtape:

    I always see those chicken sausages and think…”I wonder if their any good” – I guess this answers my question. Also, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a real cayenne pepper – I love that wiggly little snake shape.

    I have also been obsessed with chicken sausage as of late. My store sells a wonderful chicken sausage stuffed with feta and spinach that is just fabulous. BTW great interview over on Taste and Tell Blog.

    Hi, just stumbled over from Tastespotting! Great recipe, and because you asked it’s actually “dragged.” Cheers!
