Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Frankfurter sausages
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 400 grams Crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 teaspoons Hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic. Dice the onion into small pieces.
Slice each frankfurter sausage diagonally into 2-3 pieces for better sauce absorption.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the garlic and onion to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to caramelize.
Add the crushed tomatoes, red chili flakes, paprika, hot sauce, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything until well mixed.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes to thicken slightly.
While the sauce simmers, add the sliced frankfurters to the skillet. Stir them gently to coat in the sauce.
Cover the skillet and allow the frankfurters to cook in the sauce for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt, chili flakes, or hot sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or rice.
