Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces sausages
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large (finely chopped) onion
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 2 medium (sliced, any color) bell peppers
- 400 grams canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup chicken or vegetable stock
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (adjust to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausages and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken or vegetable stock. Mix well to combine.
Season the sauce with paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to incorporate the spices.
Return the sausages to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the mixture simmer over low heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Once the sausages are fully cooked and tender, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top.
Serve hot with your side of choice, such as mashed potatoes, pasta, or fresh crusty bread.
