Who doesn’t love a simple sausage hash?

This recipe is a one-pan, five-ingredient recipe! It features kale, chicken sausage and my new favourite ingredient… JAMAICAN SWEET POTATO!!!

As sneaky member of the sweet potato family, Jamaican Sweet Potato does not look like its orange cousins! With purple/red skin and yellow/white flesh, you might even mistake them for a regular old potato. They’re even a bit starchier than their orange counterparts and they’re definitely a little less sweet & a bit more savoury. Luckily, they have many of the same benefits of switching from regular to sweet potato. They are lower glycemic and more nutrient dense than a regular potato, PLUS they don’t have those inflammatory glycoalkaloids that make white potatoes part of the nightshade family… which means they are A-OK on the AIP!

Sausage & Jamaican Sweet Potato Skillet

(AIP, GF, DF)

TIME: 30 minutes

SERVINGS: 4

INGREDIENTS

1 lb organic chicken sausage (roughly sliced)

4 cups Jamaican sweet potato (diced)

1/2 cup water

8 cups kale leaves (roughly chopped)

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp sea salt

DIRECTIONS

1) In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it up as it browns. Leave the rendered fat and set aside the sausage on a plate.

2) In the same skillet, add the diced Jamaican sweet potato and cook over medium-high heat for 1-2 minutes or until brown on one side. Lower the heat to medium, add water and cook for 5-7 minutes or until tender.

3) Add the kale to the sweet potato and cover with a lid. Cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, or until the kale is wilted. Then add the sausage back to the skillet and mix until warmed through.

4) Add sea salt & garlic powder to taste and mix well. Divide into bowls and enjoy!
