This past summer we had the opportunity to go to Sassi Restaurant, a beautiful Southern Italian restaurant near our home.
I ordered a perfectly cooked sausage served over white beans. A few days later I thought making something similar. I found a great sausage recipe and made it with ground pork at first and then with ground dark meat chicken.
If you love sausage and think that most sausage recipes are time consuming and way too hard to do I think you will love this recipe. It’s incredibly easy to make, great with rice, over white beans, perfect on a sandwich with ciabatta bread or whole wheat pita. Enjoy!
