I wanted to share my 2 Sausage Spiced Stew

[vfem]

I whipped this up the other day after staring at the fridge and walking around worrying about what to make!

I used precooked Chicken and sun dried tomato sausage, and Polish Turkey Kilbesa for mine. Both are precooked!

2 Sausage Spiced Stew:

In a medium pot

1 TBSP Olive oil
1 medium-Large Onion diced
1 Full size Carrot Chopped small
2 Stalks of Celery Chopped small
2 Cloves Garlic (or more, I do over kill)
Kosher Salt and Cracked Pepper

Cook all this down in a 'sweat' until they are translucent in nature.

Then add
1/2 cup (more if you like) of tomato paste (you can also use a small can of diced tomatoes WITH the liquid)
1/2 cup White Wine (if you wouldn't drink it, don't use it!)
2 TBSP Balsomic Vinegar (the good stuff if you got it)
Mix in chopped fresh pasley, chopped fresh Oregano, 8 shredded leaves of sage and 2 springs or tops of fresh Fennel - will be about 1/2 tbsp each fresh, do 1 tsp each dry
(Used dried in not available fresh, fennel was just a bonus)

Cook for another 5 minutes and add
3 large white potatoes chopped into 1 inch or smalled chunks
Add 6 cups chicken stock over that

Bring to a boil and then turn down to medium low and let simmer about 45 min to an hour. (depends on potato size)

At the end add the chopped sausage and let heat through, about 10 more minutes.

Serve with a hard and crusty bread.

Vfem - since the disappearance of BigMike, IMHO your recipes have taken the Must Try spot.

This one sounds dee-lish, but where's the spice in Spicy?
I'd add some red pepper flakes - a little goes a looooong way
Or perhaps a splash of Louisiana Hot sauce when served?

Oh yes, do add some red pepper if you like! The polish sausage gives the kick to this one! Now its not 'hot' but it is spiced with the garlic and spices from the list.

P.s. - I forgot to add the sage I am adding now!

P.p.s- Thank you for the compliment... and I didn't know BigMike was missing!?
