Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. This recipe can be made in a pinch when you take advantage of the pre-cut produce in the grocery store. That way if you are cooking for just yourself you don’t buy a lot of ingredients that will go to waste. It’s a little more expensive by the pound, but it’s cheaper overall not to have the leftovers if you aren’t going to get to them in time to eat them before they spoil.

Servings: Serving size is 2 sausages per person.

Ingredients:

• Sausages: You have a couple of choices for your sausages. If you’re in the ZReduction phase of Plan Z, you can have Hebrew National hot dogs or Aidell’s chicken sausages. Stick to ZReduction approved varieties. For example, don’t buy the dogs with cheese or mango in them. Those could stall you.
• 2 bell peppers (or a variety of mini bell peppers)
• 1 onion
• Salad fixings (if you want to have leafy greens with your meal), use a salad in a bag in a pinch

Instructions:

You can cook your sausages on your grill or you can use a grill pan and cook them on the stove.

While they are cooking you can make your peppers and onion combo. Cut up an onion and cut red, green, yellow, orange or red bell peppers into strips. You are shooting for a full cup of veggies. If using small peppers, you can cook them whole (see image).

Spray a sauté pan with oil and spray the peppers and onions. Go ahead and overfill the cup you’re measuring in. These are really low cal and no fat. Then sauté on medium until they wilt and are soft enough to eat. You can spice them up with your favorite seasoning if you like. Grated sea salt is fine. Or even Italian seasoning. The Aidell’s sausages have so much flavor you won’t really need more seasoning.

Serve with a squirt of mustard across the top and you’re ready to dig in.

You can have a separate salad on the side if you want.

Enjoy!
Cheers,
