Sausage Balls on a Bun with Asparagus

I came up with this idea while trying to think of something I could make very quickly for dinner. This took only a half hour to prepare overall!

Instructions

Hot Dog Buns
First make the buns and pop them in the oven. I used the basic recipe for  SCD Muffins or Bread that I posted here earlier and I added a little bit more coconut flour so that it was firm enough to shape into four oblong "hot dog bun" shapes.  I baked these in the oven for 20 minutes.

Sausage "Meat Balls" and Asparagus

Ingredients
  • Organic wheat/sugar free sausage *make sure to check labels very carefully or ask butcher it is impossible to find these in a regular grocery store
  • Tomato Sauce *again check ingredients
  • 1/2 tsp oregano and basil
  • 1 clove garlic 
  • as many asparagus as you think you will eat
  • 1-2 lemon slices
  • 1 tsp butter
  • 1TBSP veg oil for frying
Instructions
  1. Cut up sausage bits to bite sized pieces (so they cook faster) turn on stove-top under frying pan to medium heat add a little bit of oil and sausages leave to cook turning occasionally
  2. In a microwave safe dish place washed trimmed asparagus and enough water to cover them. Cook on high in microwave for 12 minutes.
  3. Chop up garlic add to sauce pan and fry for 1-2 min add tomato sauce and spices and heat through until bubbling, then turn off heat.
  4. Remove asparagus from microwave drain squeeze lemon juice over them and spread butter to melt on top.
  5. Finally remove cooked buns from oven slice in half place cooked sausage in the bun and top with tomato sauce. Serve with asparagus and enjoy!
