Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb spicy Italian sausage
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 yellow onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 yellow bell pepper
- 28 oz crushed tomatoes
- 2 cup chicken broth
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Slice the spicy Italian sausage into 1-inch pieces, then brown them in the pot for 5–7 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove the sausage and set aside.
Peel and dice the yellow onion, then add it to the pot. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
Mince the garlic cloves and add them to the pot. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Slice the red, green, and yellow bell peppers into thin strips, then add them to the pot. Sauté for 5 minutes until the peppers start to soften.
Pour the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth into the pot, stirring to combine.
Add the paprika, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Return the browned sausage to the pot. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste the stew and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the stew before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal.
