The Hot Handle

A blog interspersed with occasional gluten free recipes.

Please note: If you have a family member who requires a gluten free diet, be sure to use a cast iron skillet that has never previously touched gluten....and if it has, scrub it all down completely and re-season, to be on the safe side.

Kielbasa and Veggies

Last night Peter and I went to another car show.  It was a beautiful evening with a nice breeze.  Perfect!

Personal touches are important everywhere.  Peter's 1935 Ford Pickup has my personal touch, which is a hand-knitted sweater on the greyhound hood ornament.  Here it is:


Pretty snazzy looking vehicle, too!



The other day I put my personal touch on Kielbasa in the 10" skillet.  Here's what I did:

Kielbasa and Veggies

Heat up 2 Tbs. olive oil in the 10" skillet.
Add 2 potatoes, cut into small chunks.
Cook for 5 minutes, stirring every once in a while.

Turn to low and cover with a lid.  (Any lid will do.  Look around the kitchen for one that fits from your other pots and pans.)  Turn the heat to low and cook 10 min. more.

Increase the heat to medium low.  
Add 1 pepper, cut up, and 10 oz Baby Bella mushrooms, sliced.
Sprinkle on 1-1/2 tsp. garlic pepper seasoning.
Cover and cook 10 min. more.

Add 1 14-oz Hillshire Farms Turkey Kielbasa, sliced into 3/4-inch slices.
Pour on 1/4 cup red wine mixed with 1 Tbs gluten free Worstershire Sauce
(Lea and Perrins is good).
Cover and simmer 10 min.

Uncover, stir, and simmer 10 min more.

Serve!  (Total of 45 min. cooking time.)


 

FYI, it went over pretty well.  There were no leftovers....
