  • ¾ pound (340 g) fresh spicy pork sausage, casing removed
  • 1 ½ cups (134 g) finely sliced leeks
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions 

  • Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a large 6-quart pot or heavy-bottomed pot like a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once oil has heated, add sausage and cook through, breaking into tiny pieces.
