Elk Sausage Stuffed Capsicum

I went and checked out Grants in Invermere and they had Elk sausages which I just HAD to try!!! It was $12 for 5 sausages (ouch) but I have never tried it before and it was good quality meat.

I also found this recipe on Paleo Girls website. However I substituted the Italian sausage for Elk so you can pick whatever flavour sausage you like!

The final product which I served with spinach leaves.. SOOO tasty!

INGREDIENTS

• 4 Red or Green Bell Capsicum
• 0.5kg sausage of your choice
• 1/2 cup onion (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon fresh chopped Thyme
• Fresh Ground Pepper, to taste
• Sea Salt, to taste (optional - I didn't use)

METHOD

• Preheat oven to 190C/375F (I keep listing it in farenheit because the ovens here are in farenheit but back home they are in celsius)
• Prepare capsicum by cutting off the tops, and discarding tops and seeds
• Peel the sausage skin off the mince and throw out
• Mix sausage mince with onion thyme and salt & pepper
• Stuff the meat mixture into the capsicum, and place them upright in a baking pan
• Bake for 45mins until the capsicum has softened

Take note that the capsicums hold a lot of juice so they leak a bit on your plate. I added the spinach leaves underneath the stuffed capsicum to soak it up. Looks good too!
