Ingredients
8 pork sausages
300g fresh pineapple, peeled, cored and diced into small cubes
½ red chilli, finely diced
1 tbsp sambal oelek (Indonesian chilli sauce)
1 lime, juice only
2 tbsp finely chopped fresh coriander
1 tbsp soft brown sugar
Salt, to taste
1 lemon, juice only
4 tbsp olive oil
2 bunches fresh rocket
Directions
Prepare the pineapple salsa by combining the diced pineapple, finely diced red chilli, sambal oelek, lime juice, brown sugar, and fresh coriander in a bowl. Mix well and season with salt to taste. Set aside.
Prepare the rocket salad by washing and drying the rocket bunches. Place the rocket in a large serving bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice and 3 tbsp of olive oil to create a light vinaigrette. Season with salt to taste and set aside.
Heat the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork sausages and cook for 12–15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and they are browned on all sides.
Remove the sausages from the skillet and let them rest for 2 minutes.
Dress the rocket salad with the lemon vinaigrette just before serving, tossing gently to coat.
Divide the dressed rocket salad among four serving plates. Top each portion with two cooked sausages and spoon the pineapple salsa generously over or alongside the sausages. Serve immediately.
Comments
Sambal oelek is the catch: Harris Teeter and Food Lion carry it, but you may need a second stop at Walmart or ALDI to find the Indonesian chilli paste reliably in stock, especially on a weeknight. The rest—pork sausage, pineapple, fresh chilli, lime, coriander, rocket, and lemon—are straightforward at any Charlotte chain. Cost per serving lands around $3.50–$4.00 with quality sausage and fresh fruit, not expensive. The stated 60 minutes is honest if you account for chopping the salsa and grilling the sausages; the salad comes together fast. This is a bright, unfussy weeknight dinner that feeds four without drama, reheats reasonably well (sausages better than the raw rocket), and the pineapple-chilli pairing works particularly well in warm months when pineapple is cheaper. The main call: budget time to track down sambal oelek, or substitute with fresh chilli paste you make yourself.
