Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Musetto sausage
- 1 large Onion
- 2 medium Carrot
- 2 medium Celery stalk
- 2 leaf Bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 250 ml White wine
- 1 liter Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Peel and finely dice the onion. Wash and dice the carrots and celery into small cubes.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until softened and fragrant.
Add the musetto sausages to the pot and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Deglaze the pot by pouring in the white wine. Stir gently to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Add the bay leaves, black peppercorns, and water to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer the sausages for 2 hours. Check occasionally to ensure the sausages remain submerged; add more water if necessary.
After 2 hours, remove the sausages from the pot and set them aside. Taste the broth and adjust the salt, if needed.
Serve the musetto sausages warm, garnished with chopped parsley, alongside polenta, mashed potatoes, or lentils. Enjoy!
