1 tablespoon olive oil

340 grams cooked sausage (such as cajun, andouille, or smoked sausage)
04 -
1 large red bell pepper, diced
05 -
1 large zucchini, sliced
06 -
0.5 teaspoon chili powder

# How to Make It:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Slice sausage into coins and add to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes on one side, flip, and cook for 3 additional minutes. Transfer sausage to a large plate and reserve some rendered oil in the skillet, discarding any excess.
02 -
Add diced red bell pepper to the residual oil in the skillet. Sauté over medium heat for approximately 4 minutes, adding reserved sausage oil if necessary to prevent sticking. Transfer cooked bell pepper to the plate with sausage.
03 -
In the same skillet, add sliced zucchini. Cook for 3 minutes on medium heat, supplementing with reserved oil as needed. Zucchini should be tender and lightly golden.
04 -
Using a sharp knife, slice provided cooked corn kernels from the cobs.
05 -
Return cooked sausage, bell pepper, zucchini, and corn kernels to the skillet. Stir to combine thoroughly. Add reserved sausage oil and sprinkle with chili powder. Reheat over low heat until warmed through. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
