Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 ounces smoked sausage or Italian sausage
- 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
- 1 medium (diced) bell pepper (any color)
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 15 ounces canned white beans (such as cannellini or navy beans)
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Slice the smoked sausage into rounds or half-moons. Add the sausage to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the sausage and set it aside.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), drained and rinsed white beans, smoked paprika, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low. Cover and let cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm. This pairs well with crusty bread, rice, or a simple green salad.
