Pork, Mushroom and Olive One Pot

Jump to Recipe

A flavoursome meal made from pork sausage pieces fried until golden, then cooked in a tomato, capsicum, mushroom, olive and oregano sauce. Serve with couscous or mashed potatoes.

Cooked pork, mushroom and olive onepot served in the round ceramic dish it was cooked in on a wooden table with a blue napkin and small bowl of couscous to the side. A few basil leaves have been scattered on the onepot as a garnish.

A bit like mince, I often grab a packet of sausages at the supermarket not quite knowing what I'll make with them. And of course sausages taste delicious simply cooked as they are. But if you're looking for something new to make with the humble *snag, why not try my Pork, Mushroom and Olive One Pot?

Simply squish the sausages out of their casings into bite-sized pieces and fry until golden. Then add the veggies and cook everything together until the sauce has reduced. Serve as, is or with freshly cooked couscous, pasta or mashed potato. For more sausage inspo be sure to check out my Curried Sausages or my Potato Top Sausage Pie. Or for another amazing one pot, why not try my Creamy Pesto Orzo and Meatballs?

*snag = New Zealand slang for a sausage.

The ingredients to make pork, mushroom and olive onepot on a grey bench top

Sausages: I like to use plain pork sausages for this recipe as there is so much flavour in the sauce.
Mushrooms: Any type of mushrooms can be used in this recipe including white button, brown, portobello or shiitake.
Olives: Likewise with the olives, feel free to use your favourite. Or leave them out altogether if you or your family members don't like them.

Note: Scroll to the recipe card for the ingredients, quantities and the full method.

Step by step instructions:

Place a large frying pan on a medium heat. Pull the sausage meat out of the casing and divide into small pieces then add to the frying pan. Cook for five minutes until brown on all sides.

Recipe FAQs:

What could I use in place of sausages?

You could either use pork meatballs or pieces of diced, lean pork if you prefer.

What can I serve this sausage one-pot with?

This meal is very tasty on its own. However for some extra carbs you could serve it with rice, mashed potatoes or couscous. I served mine on couscous that had orange zest, parsley and chopped apricots in it, which was perfect.

Storage:

Store any leftover pork, mushroom and olive one pot in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat on the stovetop or in the microwave until piping hot.

This meal can also be frozen. Store in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to three months. Defrost completely before reheating.
