SAUSAGE & PINEAPPLE STIR FRY

SAUSAGE & PINEAPPLE STIR FRY

This is such a good meal.  And it's one of those meals that you don't need a lot of ingredient, it's up to you how much you use.   If your one person use a half of bell pepper and save the cap and other half for another meal.

INGREDIENTS

Precooked Turkey Sausage, your brand choice.
16 oz Can of Pineapple Chunks.
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 Green Bell Pepper
1 Carrot
1 1/2 cup of Cauliflower.
1 Pablano Pepper
1 Yellow squash
1 green zucchini  
2 cups of cooked Rice or Aromatic Rice.  I have add both recipes.
2 Table spoons of  Olive oil.
1/2 cup or a handful of Cashews or any other nuts.

METHOD OF PREPARATION:

FIRST:  

HOW TO COOK RICE OR AROMATIC RICE:
 If you just want to make regular white rice just don't add any extras, it's that simple. But if you do add away.  What I like to do after the aromatic rice is done cooking is add a little cheese to the top and add hot chili garlic sauce, mix it up and yummy.  And if you haven't noticed I like to be very exacting with my rice.

Stir Occationaly
Add all the veggies to a frying pan with one table spoon of olive oil, execpt for the Pineapple, squash

Turn to Med and let cook until the zucchini and squash are cooked through and not over cooked.   Take off the Burner and do not cover with lid.

Dice up the precooked sausage and put in the pan, turn the stove top to Med-high and cook until you see a little light  browning around the edges of the sausage. After the sausage is finished add to the veggies.
