Pork Sausage, Eggs and Polenta

I found this grocery delivery place off of Instagram called Imperfect Foods. My Pork Sausage, Eggs and Polenta recipe is inspired by their products. Basically the food that they feature are perhaps misfits, such as cut too small for industry standards, or excessive quantity , etc. But otherwise perfectly good food. As far as prices, they aren’t higher than what you would find at your local Kroger’s, Trader Joe’s or whichever chain you shop at.

My Imperfect Foods Experience so far…

I’ve been using this service for over a month now and want to share some thoughts. {I’m not affiliated with them, I just really love their services}

The ordering process is easy and the delivery is free if you spend over a certain amount.

I save time! You can really plan out what you are cooking and have everything delivered to your door.

I really dig the vegan products that they feature. I can’t get over the creaminess of the plant based cheddar cheese! A lot of their meat is organic/all natural. They have basic staples as well like pasta, rice, and premade refrigerated sauces.

The produce and herbs look great! Like literally as I type this, I’m in my kitchen- my eyes are glaring at the cilantro. I have my cilantro in a cup of water that I received from them a few days ago and it looks healthy and fresh. Next to it I have the cilantro I purchased yesterday from Kroger- and it looks wilted and yellowish. SIGH

Some of the cons from using this service have been you are given a window of opportunity to shop and based on your zip code is when your delivery is scheduled. So mine is every Wednesday, I have to really think of what I’m purchasing on the weekend so I don’t have duplicates or too much food to cook with.

Also there may be something you like and had tried for a couple of weeks ago but maybe the following week, it is not available or sold out.

Overall, it has been a pleasant experience using and receiving groceries from them.

Grocery Inspiration: Pork Sausage, Eggs and Polenta

Here is one of the dishes I created with their products. Uncured freshly ground pork breakfast sausage from Niman Ranch and organic traditional polenta from Ancient Harvest. This breakfast scramble is easy, tasty and something the whole family can enjoy. If you don’t want to have the eggs as a scramble, you can have them fried, over medium or over easy.

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • salt as needed
  • black pepper as needed
  • 1 tablespoon milk whole or 2%
  • 1 cup zucchini sliced
  • 1/2 onion white or red onion, sliced
  • 1/4- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 8 large eggs
  • 12 ounces all natural pork sausage
  • 18 oz polenta remade
  • olive oil extra virgin

Instructions
 

  • Cook the pork sausage according to the package. Drain on a paper towel and set aside.
  • Crack the eggs into a small bowl and add a dash of milk. Whisk to combine. Then add a touch of salt.
  • In a large skillet over medium to low heat, add a tablespoon of olive oil
  • When the pan is ready, add the veggies and sauté for about 5 minutes. Then add the eggs. Cook until the eggs until they look set and fluffy while gently combining with the veggies. Season with the dried herbs and dash of salt and pepper.
  • Add the feta crumbles and set aside.
  • For the polenta, add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
  • Add the polenta slices and sear each side about 5-7 minutes or until golden brown. Season with a dash of salt and pepper.
  • Serve up with a couple of slices of polenta, 2 links and a nice scoop of the scramble. Enjoy!

Notes

Some tips:
People may be wondering, what exactly is a “dash” of salt and/or pepper? It’s taking the salt into your finger tips and very carefully adding a pinch of it to your food to enhance the flavor.
Here’s why I’m big on this: there is sodium in the most other products, the sausage is heavily seasoned and the feta contains salt as well. Adding too much salt to a dish can be devastating because depending what it is, you can’t take the saltiness out.
