Ingredients

• 600 g of Calabrian curved sausage
• 800 g yellow-fleshed Aspromonte potatoes
• 1 red onion from Tropea
• 4 tablespoons of Calabrian extra virgin olive oil
• Wild rosemary to taste.
• Calabrian chili pepper q.b.
• Salt to taste.

Proceedings

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges. Slice the red onion into rounds.
3. Arrange potatoes and onion in a baking dish, season with EVO oil, rosemary, salt and chili.
4. Lay the curved sausage on the baking sheet between the potatoes.
5. Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through baking, until golden brown.
6. Serve hot straight from the pan.

Tips

For perfect cooking, prick the sausage with a toothpick before baking: the fat will distribute over the potatoes, making them even tastier. Add a few black Calabrian olives to the pan for an extra touch of flavor.
