Please let me know if you have any questions about this recipe. I read all the comments myself and I try to help as soon as I can. I have readers from all levels of comfort and experience in the kitchen on my site, and I’ve tried to answer some of your questions already in the post. But if I’ve missed anything, please feel free to leave a comment and ask.
snap peas
Like I said the other day, in my Snap Peas Corn & Tuna Recipe, I’ve been on a snap pea kick lately.
I really love their bright happy green color and their snappy crispy outlook on life.
recipe notes
I used a lovely vegan Andouille sausage from Tofurky Brand (I also love their Kielbasa sausages).
These Andouille sausages have a really nice spiciness, and they’re vegetarian.
Now, as always, substitute whatever sausage you’d like: pork or chicken, your choice.
Just make sure it’s fully cooked, either when you buy it, or cook it before adding it to this dish.
sun dried tomatoes
I also used my homemade Sun-Dried Tomatoes in this dish.
The added sweetness of the sun-dried tomatoes was perfect!
It’s really easy to make your own Sun-Dried Tomatoes, and it’s way cheaper!
If you’re making this recipe with {affiliate link} dry-packed store-bought sun dried tomatoes you’ll want to soften them first.
Here’s how… place dried tomatoes in a small bowl, and cover with 1 cup of boiling water. Allow to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Drain and proceed with the recipe.

Oh, Debi! This looks amazing (gorgeous photos, BTW)! I’ve never tried Tofurkey’s andouille, but it looks terrific, and the homemade sun-dried tomatoes would be sensational in this recipe! What a quick, healthy, delicious meal! 😀

My husband saw these pictures on my computer and said he wanted some of this. So, I guess I will be trying this soon. That means I will be pinning it, too! Your pics are fantastic!
Thanks for linking up with us at the Four Seasons Blog Party!

The spiciness of the sausage with the sweet peas would be so good and hearty for the fall. Thank you for sharing it on our Four Seasons Blog Hop

This recipe doesn’t say where to use the veggie broth or the olive oil. I assume the olive oil is for the dressing. I’ve blanched the veggies and I’m gonna saute them in the veggie broth I guess. Hope that’s right!

Wendy, actually, the recipe does say when to use the broth and the oil. It says, “While potatoes cook, combine thyme through pepper in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk or fork. Drizzle dressing over veggies once the veggies are done cooking, and gently toss again to combine.” That means the thyme, vegetable broth, olive oil, salt, and pepper. I’ll go ahead and update the recipe card so it’s a little more clear for you.
