• 2 stalks celery stalks, chopped
• 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
• 500 milliliters chicken or vegetable stock

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

2. Add the sausages to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausages and set them aside.

3. In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

4. Add the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

5. Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, chicken or vegetable stock, dried thyme, dried rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

6. Return the sausages to the pot, cover, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

7. Add the drained butter beans to the stew and continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes, uncovered, to allow the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce slightly.

8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the pot from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

9. Serve the sausage and butter bean stew hot with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal.
