Category: Main Dishes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Piadine (flatbreads) | 4 |
| Sausage (Italian-style) | 350g |
| Potatoes | 650g |
| Fresh rosemary | 2 sprigs |
| Extra virgin olive oil | As needed |
| Salt | As needed |
| Black pepper | As needed |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by peeling the potatoes. Once peeled, cut them into small cubes, approximately 1 cm in size.
-
Boil the Potatoes: Place the diced potatoes in a pot filled with water. Bring the water to a boil and add salt. Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still firm. Once cooked, drain them well.
-
Prepare the Sausage: While the potatoes are boiling, finely chop the rosemary leaves. Heat a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sausage. Break it apart with a spoon as it cooks, allowing it to brown and develop flavor.
-
Combine Sausage and Potatoes: When the potatoes are ready, add them directly to the skillet with the sausage. Stir well to combine, seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Let everything cook together for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
-
Warm the Piadine: While the sausage and potato mixture is cooking, heat the piadine in a non-stick pan for about 30 seconds on each side until warm and lightly crisped. You can help flip them using a spatula for easier handling.
-
Assemble the Piadina: Once the piadine are ready, lift one edge of the flatbread and fold the sides inward, creating a pocket to hold the delicious filling. Spoon the sausage and potato mixture into each piadina, ensuring the filling stays securely inside.
-
Serve: Cut each piadina in half, revealing the warm, savory interior. Serve hot, and enjoy this comforting Italian-inspired dish!
Tips:
- If you prefer a spicier version, feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage while cooking.
- For extra flavor, you can drizzle a little more olive oil or sprinkle some grated cheese over the finished piadina.
This Piadina with Sausage and Potatoes is the perfect dish for a quick and filling meal, bringing the flavors of Italy straight to your kitchen!
