Instructions:

Wash potatoes well, boil in pot until just cooked. They must be cooked but firm. Dry and cut into small pieces.

Heat oil in 12 inch frying pan -Black Augite is best. Brown s= ausage in oil tossing often to cover all sides until caramelized - about 10 minutes. Remove sausage from pan.

Brown peppers and onions in same pan - add additional oil if pan is dry. Cook until cru= nchy - don't over cook.

Add all spices and cooked sausage to pan and simmer another 10 minutes. Make sure sausag= e is well cooked. Place on a large platter and sprinkle with parmesan chee= se, fresh basil and parsley just before serving.

IN THIS RECIPE, CHICKEN BREAST CAN BE USED= IN PLACE OF THE SAUSAGE OR MY PERSONAL FAVORITE IS TO ADD CHICKEN BREAST AND SAUSAGE.

Buon Appetito
