Cooking With Paleo-friendly Sausage

Sausage is not expressly off-limits on the Paleo diet, but you should carefully scan ingredient labels to avoid sneaky additives and preservatives. When in doubt, try to opt for pasture-raised sausage to ensure you get optimal quality.

For this recipe, we use smoked andouille sausage to add a rich grilled flavor that mixes well with the added garlic, peppers, and onion. Not only does it cook up quickly, but it also comes in other varieties like pork, chicken, and turkey.

Some Tips To Get You Started:

• Prep in advance to make things easy. The vegetables can be chopped ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for less hassle.
• Experiment with different proteins. If seafood isn’t your thing or you have an allergy, cubed chicken breast works just as well.
• Shop your spice cabinet or opt for store-bought seasoning. Cajun seasoning is a blend of spices most people already have in their pantry, but feel free to use a store-bought blend for easier prep.
• Cook seasonal. Any seasonal variety of vegetables can be used in this dish. Try chopped onion, yellow squash, and sweet potatoes (depending on what’s growing near you).
