Contents of your meal kit:
Zeigler’s hot italian pork sausage
broccoli
fennel
mandarin orange(s)
lemon
red wine vinaigrette base
spring salad mix
fennel fronds
Equipment needed: baking sheet, salad bowl
Finishing steps:
- Preheat oven to 450.
- On a foil-lined baking sheet, toss broccoli & fennel with olive oil, salt & pepper. Place sausage on top. Once oven has heated roast for 10 minutes, then toss and roast another 5-10 minutes or until sausage is cooked through.
- Meanwhile peel mandarin orange(s) and cut into ¼-inch slices.
- For additional browning, turn oven to broil and watch closely until sausage is well browned. Remove from oven before adding a squeeze of lemon over the entire baking sheet.
- Pour red wine vinaigrette base into the bottom of your salad bowl and add an equal amount of olive oil. Whisk or mix with a fork to combine. If this looks like too much dressing, remove some before adding the greens and citrus slices. Toss gently and season with salt & pepper to taste.
- Serve sausage on top of broccoli & fennel with a sprinkle with fennel fronds. Enjoy the spring salad on the side.
