One-Pot Wonder

We did make this once last year, and it was so good! We had some left over sausage and fish, and thought we'd give it a try again. Alas, again I forgot to take a picture! At this point, I'm going for 1 for 5 on the picture... but I digress. The first time we made this meal, we saw Rachael Ray make it on her show on Food Network and improvised based on what we saw, but this time I went by the recipe. Since the recipe is available online, I will just add some pointers and things I did differently.

Sausage and Fish One-Pot

For Rachael Ray's 30-minute meals, I find that they always take me longer or stress me out because I'm trying to take only 30 minutes. So, I try to pre-chop as much as I can; I would recommend starting by chopping anything which needs to be chopped.

Ingredients I used or changed:

I swapped mild italian sausage for hot because that's what I had; in retrospect, I could have thrown in some crushed red pepper to make up for the lost heat. Perhaps next time...

I used larger red potatoes.

I probably used 3/4 cup instead of 1/2 of Meridian Chardonnay (reminds me of home - SLO).

We had cod in our freezer, so that was the fish of choice.

I think I followed the directions pretty much spot on. We didn't have bread this time around, and I did miss it as an extra utensil for scooping things on to my fork, but didn't miss the starch. I would recommend sourdough if you decide to go for bread.

The absolute best part of the meal? One pot!!
