Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 ounces vegan sausages
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 medium carrots, sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 15 ounces canned cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the vegan sausages and cook them until they are browned on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Saute the diced onion, garlic, carrots, celery, and red bell pepper until they are tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the canned diced tomatoes (including juices), vegetable broth, and drained cannellini beans.
Add the thyme, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper, stirring well to combine.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Slice the browned sausages into bite-sized pieces and add them to the skillet along with the frozen peas.
Transfer the skillet contents to a casserole dish and cover with foil.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the top to brown slightly.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
