Sweet Potato, Sausage and Spinach Hash

For the past week, I have been fighting a nasty cold, that has left me just craving soup every night. But after a few days, even soup got boring. I wanted something nutritious that would give me a bit of staying power while I fight this thing off.

A quick look in the fridge determined that I had everything to make this Sweet Potato, Sausage and Spinach Hash I kept hearing about on Carrots ‘N’ Cake last week.

I was full of some of my seasonal favourites – bright orange sweet potato, sweet local apples and slightly spicy sausage. Having everything all mixed up may not be everyone’s thing, but I loved all the flavours coming together. The leftovers were great for easy dinner when I didn’t feel like cooking this week.

What you’ll need:

2 small to medium Sweet Potatoes, peeled and diced (or one large)
1 Apple, peeled cored and diced
2 tbsp Coconut Oil, divided
1/4 tsp Cinnamon
2 Mild Italian Chicken or Turkey Sausages, removed from casing
2-3 large cups of Baby Spinach
1/3 cup Yellow Onion, diced
Salt and Pepper to taste

In a large nonstick skillet heat 1 tbsp coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add diced sweet potatoes and apples. Add a pinch or two of sea salt and cinnamon to the pan. Cook until softened, and slightly browned.

While the sweet potatoes are cooking, heat a large skillet with 1 tbsp coconut oil over medium heat. Add sausage and onion making sure to break the sausage up in small pieces while it cooks.
