 Preparations

  1. Slice the Sausages: To begin with, the gluten-free chicken sausages should be cut into small round pieces. The direct heating process does not apply here as the sausages are mostly pre-cooked (most brands offer ready-to-eat ones that cut the steps down), yet you may also go for cooking them yourself from fresh ones if you are experienced enough.
  2. Prepare the veggies: Take a bell pepper and onion and chop them into small pieces of the same size. It will prevent uneven cooking when put in the same skillet or pot together with sausages.
  3. Cook the Sausages: Place a large non-stick frying pan on a medium flame. Pour 2 tablespoons of olive oil and put in the sliced sausages. Cook them for about 3-4 minutes until they turn brown on all sides.
  4. Add the veggies: When the sausages are brown, put the diced bell pepper, onion, and garlic cloves minced in the same way and close the lid. Mix everything and continue cooking for another 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are soft and aromatic.
  5. Season the Dish: Add the smoked paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt (if required). A coating of the spices on the sausages and other vegetables should be achieved by stirring everything together. Allow to simmer for another 1-2 minutes to deepen the flavor.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Turn off the stove and decorate the dish with chopped parsley. These chicken sausage bites are best served hot with gluten-free dipping sauces of your choice. 

 Estimated Portion Sizes & Serving Styles
