Ingredients
6–8 chicken sausages, cut into diagonal chunks
1 tablespoon olive or rapeseed oil
1 medium carrot, finely diced
2 shallots, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 bunch asparagus, diced or cut into short lengths
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 cup chicken stock (240 ml)
¾ cup frozen peas
1 can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
¼ cup heavy cream (60 ml)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken sausage chunks and cook until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add diced carrot with a pinch of salt and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened. Stir in sliced shallots and cook another 2–3 minutes, then add asparagus and minced garlic, cooking for 1–2 minutes more.
- Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1 minute, then stir in Dijon mustard and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer until the sauce begins to thicken.
- Add frozen peas and cannellini beans, then pour in the heavy cream. Simmer for 5–10 minutes until vegetables are tender and sauce is creamy.
- Return the cooked sausages to the skillet and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and let everything heat through for a few minutes.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm with rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
Notes
Substitute asparagus with green beans, zucchini, or broccoli depending on the season.
Add grated Parmesan for extra richness before serving.
For a dairy-free version, replace heavy cream with coconut milk.
To make it spicy, use hot chicken sausage or add red pepper flakes.
Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, or pasta for a heartier meal.
