Hawaiian Sweet and Sour Smoked Sausage Recipe

Cook Time:  30 minutes  Difficulty: Easy

How does smoky sausage, sweet tangy grilled pineapple, sweet roasted peppers, and spicy pineapple-habanero sauce sound?  Does it sound like a flavor party in your mouth? You betcha!

I love simple tasty recipes.  Sausage is a food we normally don't eat very often in our household, but I couldn't pass up this tasty recipe and try it on my kiddos.  Everything in moderation, right? The result?  Our kiddos LOVED this recipe!

Perhaps it was the grilled pineapple that sealed the deal?  Or perhaps it was the sweet and spicy Pineapple Habanero Sauce?

Either way, this recipe was a delightful twist to our normal culinary routine and a definite must-try for your family.

Ingredients

• 1 pkg. Smoked Sausage, cut into 1/2-inch sliced

• 1/2 jar Cherchies® Pretty Peppers

• 1/4 cup Terrapin Ridge Farms Roasted Pineapple Habanero Sauce

• 1 cup fresh pineapple, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

• 3 cups cooked rice

Preparation

Never heard of grilled pineapple? Then you're missing out! (Grilling brings out the sweetness of the pineapple.  It's amazing, but not necessary for this dish).  Here, we used a stove-top grill to cook the pineapple, but you could easily grill the pineapple on a grill or simply cook in the pan with the sausage. Once the pineapple is cooked, chop the pineapple into 1 inch sections.

Cook and stir the sausage over medium-high heat for 5 minutes or until sausage is lightly browned.   Add the pineapple, Cherchies® Pretty Peppers, and the Terrapin Ridge Farms Roasted Pineapple & Habanero Sauce to the pan.  Cook and stir for 5 minutes.  Serve over cooked rice.

Enjoy!

Chicken and Roasted Pineapple Burrito Recipe

Cook Time:  60 minutes  Difficulty:  Easy

Stewed chicken is used to create delicious lunch or dinner.  You could easily substitute cooked Rotisserie chicken if you're short on time.  Serve this dish with Pepper Jam Grilled Pineapple and our Strawberry Spinach Salad for a complete meal.

Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 (3.5 to 4-pound) chicken or 4 medium chicken breasts

• 1 medium yellow onion, peeled

• Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper

• 1 Jar Terrapin Ridge Farms Roasted Pineapple & Habanero Sauce

• 4 flour tortillas

• 1 can red or black beans, drained and rinsed

• 1 cup shredded jack cheese

Preparation

In a large pot, put the chicken, 1 whole onion and large pinch of salt and and pepper and cover with cold water.  Bring the pot to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour. Remove the chicken and allow it to cool.  When the chicken is cool enough to handle, remove the meat, discarding the bones and skin. If you are using breasts instead of a whole chicken, cube the chicken.

Wrap the tortillas in a damp towel and microwave for 45 seconds or until warm and pliable. Heat the beans in a small pot over low heat. Lay out one tortilla onto a flat surface. Place 1/4 of the chicken, into the middle of the burrito. Top with 1/4 cup of cheese, 1/4 of the beans and 2 tablespoons of the Terrapin Ridge Farms Roasted Pineapple & Habanero Sauce. Fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling then fold the sides in and roll up from the bottom. Repeat with remaining ingredients and garnish with remaining sauce.
