I love sausages. This is the reason I have decided not to be a full time vegan. Maybe I am too impulsive. It was great being vegan for a while, and I was glad I tried it. I will eat sausages and eggs but maybe not burgers. I will eat dried shrimp but not a full on steak. Hope I can reconcile my thoughts about cruelty to animals with my diet. Maybe another time, another place, I will pick up veganism again.
Anyway, this sweet potato hash I made was inspired from BBC Good Food but I changed the recipe and method of cooking. Instead of potatoes, I used these purple sweet potatoes my mom bought. They are so deep in colour. Must have many vitamins.
I cooked the ingredients separately in the microwave and it really cut down the cooking time. Then I just pan fried it at the end. I used thyme and mustard to season the dish. Overall it was a simple dish and was nice because of the sausages. I used a pack of 10 frankfurters I saw on offer at Giant. They only cost RM2.55! I don't know if it was a barcode mistake or not but I was pleasantly surprised at the checkout.
Anyway, below is the recipe. Enjoy. I will be rolling out my Christmas blog posts soon, so stay tuned for that. Think I will make cookies and other (low fat) desserts. Thanks for reading!
