Potato Italian Sausage And Arugula Salad Food

ONE PAN CHICKEN SAUSAGE, ARUGULA, AND POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees while you cut your potatoes, shallots, and sausages. On a large baking sheet (I like to cover mine with parchment paper), toss together the potatoes and shallots with the olive oil. Make sure your potatoes are all laying flat on the sheet and not stacked on top of each other. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Bake potatoes and shallots for 20 minutes. Remove the sheet from the oven and toss the potatoes and shallots. Then add the cut sausages to the baking sheet. Cook another 20-25 minutes at 425.
• In a large bowl toss the arugula with the vinegar and some salt and pepper to taste. Add the roasted chicken sausage, shallots, and potatoes.
• If using chicken breasts, cut the breasts in half so they're in smaller pieces. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 tbsp of olive oil, 1 tsp of thyme, and 1 tsp of oregano. You can combine all of this in a bowl for easy mixing, if you'd like. Cook the same, giving the chicken about 15-20 minutes at 425. Chicken should reach 165 internal temperature.

POTATO, ITALIAN SAUSAGE, AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Soak onion in cold water to cover 15 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
• Meanwhile, cover potatoes with salted cold water by 2 inches in a 3-quart heavy saucepan and simmer, uncovered, until just tender, 15 to 25 minutes. Drain in a colander and cool slightly.
• While potatoes are simmering, prick sausages once or twice with a fork, then cook in 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy skillet over moderate heat, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. When sausages are cool enough to handle, cut diagonally into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Whisk together vinegar and salt in a large bowl until salt is dissolved. When potatoes are just cool enough to handle (but still warm), peel and cut into 1-inch cubes, adding to vinegar as cut, and toss gently.
• Add onion, sausages, roasted peppers, arugula, remaining 3 tablespoons oil, and salt and pepper to taste to potatoes and toss well.

POTATO, LEEK, AND PEA POT PIE WITH SPINACH-ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• Place rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 425°F. If you see or feel dirt in leeks, rinse well, separating layers, then pat dry; otherwise, leave rounds intact.
• Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a 10" cast-iron or other deep, heavy, ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Cook sausage, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage and garlic to a plate, reserving about 2 Tbsp. oil in pan.
• Return pan to low heat and add flour, 1 Tbsp. at a time, stirring to combine. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture starts to smell toasty and is the color of peanut butter, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in stock 1/4-cupful at a time. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Add carrots, potatoes, and leek and simmer until carrots and potatoes are just softened and liquid is reduced by half, 10-12 minutes. Add reserved sausage and garlic, peas, dill, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper and stir to combine.
• Remove from heat. Place pastry over skillet, tucking corners gently into sides; it won't completely cover pan. Whisk egg with 1 Tbsp. water (if not using, substitute 1 Tbsp. oil) in a small bowl and brush top of pastry. Cut four 1" slits in pastry to vent.
• Bake pot pie until pastry is beginning to brown and underside is cooked, 23-25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
• Meanwhile, whisk remaining 4 Tbsp. oil, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a large bowl. Add spinach, arugula, radishes, cilantro, parsley, and almonds and toss to combine.
• Divide pot pie among plates and serve salad alongside.
