Instructions

  1. If using rope sausage, first cut into 2- or 3-inch pieces. Place sausage, water and oil into large skillet over high heat. Bring to a boil and then cover, lower heat and cook for 15 min., setting the timer for about 8 minutes (for next step).

  2. Meanwhile, slice the carrots thinly and cut the asparagus ino 2-inch pieces. When there are 5-7 minutes remaining on the sausage cook time, remove the lid from the sausage, add the sliced onion or apple, (or both if you like the flavors to mingle), sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of Adobo, and sauté for remaining time until the sausage is golden and the onions and/or apples are tender.

  3. While the sausage and apples and/or onions finish cooking, it’s time to cook the other veggies: using another burner on the stove, turn the heat on high, and place a large skillet on that burner. Pour in 1 teaspoon oil, add the carrots, sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon Adobo and sauté for 3 minutes.

  4. Add the asparagus and sauté for 2-4 more minutes, until carrots and asparagus are tender. About this time, the sausage will be done, onions (and/or apples) will be golden. Both dishes are now ready to serve!
