It’s been a long day, I’m hungry, tired and I’m looking in my fridge and seeing only bits and pieces.  So, what’s for dinner?  Toady it was a Linguica, Pepper and Mushroom Skillet- cooked quickly and served over rice.  It was really tasty and filling.

Here’s what you’ll need serves two

1/2 spicy linguica sausage, sliced thinly

1/2 bell pepper sliced

1/4 onion sliced

2 cloves garlic minced

3-4 button mushrooms sliced

1/2 cup sherry (I happen to always have this in my pantry- if you don’t add a tablespoon of brown sugar to your stock- the sweet helps to balance the spicy linguica)

1 cup (or so) of chicken stock (or water with a bullion cube added).

1 tablespoon flour

To make:

Saute onions, pepper, mushrooms and garlic.  Once the veggies are softened add the Linguica.  Saute until the linguica is starting to brown.

Add the sherry- let simmer a couple of minutes and add the chicken stock and flour.  Allow to simmer until the sauce has thickened.

Serve over buttered white rice.
