Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh corn kernels (from about 3 ears, cooked)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 10 oz pre-cooked sausage (such as chorizo or kielbasa, sliced into rounds)
  • 1 large yellow bell pepper diced
  • 1 medium summer squash sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped

Instructions

Cooking Steps

  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned on one side, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Once the sausage is browned, flip the pieces over and add the diced bell pepper and summer squash to the skillet. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  • Stir in the corn kernels and smoked paprika, mixing well. Allow everything to cook together on low for 2-3 minutes to heat through and blend the flavors.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve warm straight from the pan for a cozy meal.

Notes

Add a squeeze of lime juice before serving for an added zing! This dish is also great for meal prep and can be stored in the fridge for up to three days.
