Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces sausages
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup water or chicken stock
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or deep sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the sausages to the pan and brown them on all sides, about 5–7 minutes. Remove the sausages and set them aside on a plate.
Dice the onion and finely chop the garlic. Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips.
In the same pan, add the diced onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
Add the chopped garlic and red bell pepper strips to the pan and sauté for another 2 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to caramelize slightly.
Pour in the canned crushed tomatoes, followed by the water or chicken stock. Stir well to combine.
Season the sauce with dried oregano, dried basil, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Return the browned sausages to the pan, nestling them into the tomato sauce.
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the pan, and cook for 25–30 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the sausages are fully cooked and the sauce has thickened, taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Sprinkle the fresh parsley over the dish before serving.
Serve hot with your choice of accompaniment, such as rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
