One Pot Paleo Sausage and Slaw Skillet
Description
The recipe begins by gently poaching Italian sausages in boiling water, then browning them in a skillet. The pan is then used to sauté sliced onions and red bell peppers until softened. Minced garlic, paprika, dried oregano, and optional red pepper flakes are added to build flavor.
A coleslaw blend including cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli slaw, and kale is stirred into the pan, wilting down to combine with the other ingredients into a cohesive warm dish. The resulting mix balances savory, mildly spicy sausage with the slight bitterness and crunch of the assorted slaw vegetables.
This one-pan dish is suitable for Paleo or Whole30 diets when compliant sausages are chosen. It offers a complete meal with protein and vegetables all cooked together for efficiency. Red pepper flakes can be omitted or reduced for less spicy results.
Serving in individual skillets presents a rustic approach. The method of simmering and searing ensures sausages reach safe temperatures while vegetables retain texture.
Ingredients
- 4 Italian sausage uncooked, for paleo/whole30 be sure to read ingredients to determine if they are compliant, hot, links
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or oil of choice
- 1 onion sliced, large
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 coleslaw mix cabbage, Brussels sprouts and broccoli slaw (such as Cruciferous Crunch from Trader Joe's or Sweet Kale Salad from Costco/Kroger ) about 10 ounces or 6 cups, bag of slaw with kale
- 1 kale cabbage, Brussels sprouts and broccoli slaw (such as Cruciferous Crunch from Trader Joe's or Sweet Kale Salad from Costco/Kroger ) about 10 ounces or 6 cups, bag of slaw with kale
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, or to taste
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a high sided sauté pan, add enough water to submerge the sausages. Bring the water to a boil and then turn off the heat. Add the sausages to the water and cover. Allow to sit for 7 minutes. Drain water and then brown sausages. You may need to add a tiny bit of oil to the pan if they are sticking.
- Once sausages are browned and reach an internal temperature of 165°F, remove from pan. Reduce heat to medium and add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Once hot, add the onions and season with a little salt. Cook for about 2 minutes, then add the bell pepper and cook for another 2 minutes, until onion and bell pepper have softened. Add the garlic and spices, cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add the slaw to the pan. The pan will be very full at first, carefully mix the slaw in and it will start to wilt and reduce in volume. Continue to stir, until everything is combined and slaw is wilted, about 5 minutes. Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
- Add the sausages back to the pan, stirring slaw as needed, until sausages are warmed. Serve right away.
Notes
- Omit or reduce red pepper flakes to lessen spiciness if preferred.
- This meal cooks entirely in one pan, making cleanup simpler.
- Choosing compliant Italian sausages is necessary to adhere to Paleo or Whole30 guidelines.
- Serving in individual skillets adds presentation appeal but is optional.
