So I haven't gone mad and made up a new word! A 'salmagundi' describes an assortment, hodgepodge, medley or melange if you will and is the perfect name for this little beaut of a dish.
I thought this recipe up quite by chance as I awoke blurry eyed one morning and raided my fridge for something substantial and warming to eat for breakfast. The result... this salmagundi(!!) of lovely vibrant vegetables fried up together with some delightful pieces of sweet spicy sausage meat plus some herbs and spices for extra flavour.
What's great about this little salmagundi (warming to it right?) is its versatility and ease of preparation. It only takes around 20 minutes from fridge to plate and its ingredients can be adapted to whatever you happen to have in your own fridge.
Although sweet chilli sausage works exceptionally well in this dish, any old sausage could be used in this recipe together with whatever vegetables you happen to have to hand (squash and courgette would be welcomed here). While cooking this I was contemplating slapping a poached egg on top but was in too much anticipation to eat it as it was! A poached or fried egg aside or atop a sausage or sausageless salmagundi however would make a deeeelish vegetarian version. Recipe...
