About 1 min
- 3
Add the sliced soujouk to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and slightly crispy.
About 6 min
Cook’s note: Soujouk releases its own fat, so you may not need much olive oil.

Drain any excess fat from the skillet, leaving a small amount for flavor.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Carefully tilt the pan and use a spoon or paper towel to remove fat.
- 5
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Do not burn the garlic; it should just become aromatic.

Stir in the diced tomato and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the tomatoes soften slightly and release their juices.
About 4 min
