Recipe Notes

I doesn’t get much more Mediterranean than this.  Great quality oil, lots of veggies, a little bit of meat, whole grains and fish.

Choose your sausage carefully.  First and foremost it can be very salty.  The andouille used in this recipe contains 400 mg in a 2 ounce serving.  This is pretty reasonable and you should look carefully at the package and set that as your target.  Many sausages can have twice that amount.
