Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 cup Cajun sausage, sliced
Vegetables:
- 1 medium sweet potato, diced
- ½ cup onion, chopped
- ½ cup bell pepper, diced
Seasonings and Oils:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat (375°F) until the oil shimmers and moves easily across the pan’s surface.
- Add 1 cup diced sweet potato, ½ cup chopped onion, and ½ cup diced bell pepper to the hot skillet. Stir the vegetables to coat them evenly with oil.
- Sauté the vegetables for 8-10 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
- When vegetables soften and start to turn golden, add 1 cup sliced Cajun sausage to the skillet.
- Sprinkle 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning over the entire mixture, ensuring even distribution of the spice.
- Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sausage is thoroughly heated and vegetables develop a crisp, caramelized exterior.
- Remove skillet from heat and immediately transfer the hash to serving plates while piping hot.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs or a dash of hot sauce for extra zest.
Notes
- Dice sweet potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from becoming mushy while others remain undercooked.
- Select a high-quality Cajun sausage with robust spices to enhance the overall flavor profile of the hash.
- For a vegetarian version, swap sausage with plant-based chorizo or smoked tofu and adjust cooking time accordingly.
- Season generously with Cajun spice blend, but taste as you go to control the heat level and match your personal spice tolerance.
