Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 links sausages (e.g., Italian or smoked)
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 4 medium golden potatoes
- 15 ounces canned white beans (e.g., cannellini or great northern beans)
- 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes (canned)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the sausages and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausages from the pan and set aside.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add them to the same pan and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Wash and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the pan and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Rinse and drain the canned white beans. Return the sausages to the pan, slicing them into bite-sized pieces if desired.
Add the beans, diced tomatoes (with their juice), chicken broth, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the pan. Stir well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
