Potato and sausage stew

4 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 tablespoons Butter; or oil, or marjorine
1 Carrot; chopped
2 Stalks of celery; (leaves included), chopped
1 large Onion; chopped
Thyme; and/or sage, and/or rosmary
1 cup Peeled tomatoes; chopped, (or tomato sauce, or 2 tb tomato paste dissolved in water)
8 larges Potatoes; peeled and cut into 4-6 pieces
16 ounces Italian sausage; unpeeled, cut into 4-inch long pieces

Directions

Place the shortening, the chopped vegetables and the herbs of your choice in a large heavy-bottomed pan with a couple tb of cold water. Cover with lid and cook over low heat until tender, about 20 minutes. Add tomatoes (or tomato sauce, or tomato paste), potatoes, sausage and some cold water (2 cups approx). Stir gently, in order not to "break" the sausage pieces.

Replace lid and cook on low/medium heat, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are very tender. Adjust seasoning, adding some salt and pepper if you like. Test for consistency according to your tastes, adding some hot water if you like the stew to be more "soup-like". Serve with steamed/boiled vegetables or some fresh salad.
