A rustic and hearty one-skillet dish featuring savory Portuguese sausage, tender potatoes, carrots, red beans, and spinach, simmered together with aromatic seasonings for a flavorful and filling meal.
Ingredients
- 1 (14-ounce) can red beans, rinsed
- 1 medium-sized potato, peeled and cubed
- 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1–2 Portuguese sausages
- 1 medium white onion, chopped
- 5 ounces spinach
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup water
- 6 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
- Wash and dry the vegetables. Dice the carrots and onion, and peel and cube the potato. Slice the sausage into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
- Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

- Stir in the carrots, potatoes, and bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Pour the water over the sausage and vegetables. Cover the pan and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes and carrots begin to soften.
- Stir in the red beans and spinach, then cover for an additional 3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the potatoes are fully cooked.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, paired with fresh bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
Notes
