A simple dish to start off

A few pointers. I will post Italian dishes almost exclusively because that is my food. However, Italian cuisine is not only delicious but is also healthy. Buy the best and freshest ingredients and use only good olive oil and sea salt from Sicily, if you can.

 

 This is for two people so get some Italian style thin sausages and cut two 18 inch pieces. Cut the peeled all purpose potatoes. When the water boils add the potatoes and the sausages. Remove the sausage after about a minute and boil the potatoes for a few  minutes more. They must be firm. While this is going on slice on onion and a little bell pepper, very thinly.

In an oven pan. sprinkle some good extra virgin olive oil; place the sausages on the bottom and top off with the par boiled potatoes, onions and pepper. Season with salt and black pepper and add dry rosemary and a few leaves of salvia (sage): stir and sprinkle some olive oil. 

In a pre heated oven at 375 degrees bake for about 25 minutes.

Arrange the sausage as shown. To complete the dish add a dash or raw olive oil, and sprinkle liberally with black pepper. The rosemary twig is just for the all important presentation

Buon appetito.
