Hawaiin Style Farmer Sausage

Since I saw this recipe featured on Winkler Meats Instagram page this week, it seemed like a good time to dust it off and re-publish it.


We rather like farmer sausage around here and always have some on hand.  Farmer sausage is a smoked pork sausage; the smoky flavour is a great addition to soups and casseroles.  But if you aren't familiar with this particular sausage, I'm sure your favorite sausage would work with this dish as well.
  • 1 ring farmer sausage (about 1 1/2 pounds), sliced in 1/2 inch pieces
  • 2 stalks celery, sliced
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 green pepper, cut in chunks
  • 1 red pepper, cut in chunks
  • 1 large can diced tomatoes (796 ml / 28 oz)
  • 1 can pineapple chunks or tidbits (398 ml / 14 oz), drain and reserve juice
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  1.  Stir fry farmer sausage for several minutes.
  2.  Add celery, onions, and peppers and cook until tendercrisp.
  3. Add tomatoes, pineapple, seasonings, sugar and soy sauce.  Simmer 5 minutes.
  4. Blend cornstarch with reserved pineapple juice. Add to simmering sausage dish and cook for 2 minutes.
  5. Serve on a bed of rice.

Serves 6.
