Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Sausage

    Begin by slicing the Portuguese sausage into thin rounds, approximately 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Garlic

    Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Chop the Parsley

    Rinse the fresh parsley under cold water, pat dry, and chop finely. Set aside.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

  2. 5

    Cook the Sausage

    Add the sliced Portuguese sausage to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on one side until browned, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the other side is browned.

  3. 6

    Add Garlic and Seasoning

    Once the sausage is browned, add the minced garlic and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant but not burnt.

  4. 7

    Finish with Parsley

    Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the sausage and garlic mixture. Stir to combine and cook for another minute.

Serving

  1. 8
