Ingredients
  

  • 113 g smoked kielbasa/sausage (Sprouts pork & beef kielbasa) 4 oz
  • 170 g frozen peas 6 oz
  • 210 g low-fat cottage cheese
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Ranch seasoning a light dusting on the peas & cottage cheese (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Cook sliced sausage until crisped: air fryer 390°F (200°C) 6–8 min (shake once) or oven 425°F (220°C) 10–12 min (turn once). Slice if desired.
  • Microwave peas 4 minutes until hot; season with salt, pepper, and a light dusting of ranch mix.
  • Add cottage cheese to a bowl. Top with hot peas and crisp sausage. Finish with pepper (and a touch more ranch, optional). Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Sprouts pork & beef kielbasa has solid macros for this bowl; air-frying gives great crispy edges.
  • Keep it simple, or add hot sauce/pickle brine for extra zing.
  • Swap peas for another quick-cooking veg if you prefer.
  • I eat this with cold cottage cheese because I love hot and cold meals. But you can gently heat the cottage cheese up in the microwave!
