Best Sausage And Pepper Stew Recipes

HUNGARIAN LECSO - PEPPER, SAUSAGE AND TOMATO STEW

Steps:

• METHOD: In a heavy, straight-sided sauté pan or a casserole (like a Dutch Oven), melt three generous tablespoons of delicious lard.
• Prepare all peppers, core, devein and cut into 4-6 long narrow wedges.
• Cut onions into ½ moon slices. Place onions and peppers into the lard on high heat. Stir-fry until it becomes like a stew, cooked, but still firm; only about 6-8 minutes - no longer, you want the integrity of the peppers to remain in tact and the bright colours to stay. Then, add all seasonings, stewed tomatoes and paste.
• Adding the Hungarian Sausage: Take 1 pair of Hungarian Kolbász (Sausage) and slice it on the "diagonal" - the visual effect is important. You can add the slices right into the pepper stew and let it stew together if it's not too dry. Other sausage variations like Debrecen are ideal, but the drier ones, like the Gyulai sausage are exceptionally delicious. Note: if the sausage is too dry - stew beforehand in ½ cup water in a shallow saucepan for 10-15 minutes before adding it to the peppers. (Add both stewing liquid and sausage to the peppers).
• Let simmer until all flavours are melded; about 4-6 minutes. Warning - when you are stirring, use a wooden slotted spoon so as not to break up the peppers - you are not going for baby food!
• Serving Suggestions: Serve with fluffy white jasmine rice and/or fresh Hungarian white bread. You can jazz it up or play it down. However you use, it you will find it to be very complimentary with a variety of your favourite dishes.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PEPPER STEW

Steps:

• In 6-quart Dutch oven, cook and stir sausage and bell peppers over medium-high heat about 8 minutes or until sausage is no longer pink; drain.

SAUSAGE-AND-PEPPER STEW

Steps:

• Remove casings from sausage; crumble into 1-inch pieces. Heat a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the sausage; cook, stirring often, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Remove the sausage from the saute pan with a slotted spoon; set aside.
• Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat from the pan. Return to medium heat; add the onion. Saute the onion until it is just beginning to brown and soften, about 5 minutes. Add the peppers; continue to cook for 10 minutes more.
• Add salt and pepper. Add tomatoes; bring to a boil, and then lower to a simmer until vegetables are tender and the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly, about 12 minutes more.
• Return sausage to pan; cook just enough to heat through. Stir in parsley; adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

SAUSAGE STEW (WITH PEPPER, ONIONS AND POTATOES)

Steps:

• Heat olive oil to a medium high heat in Dutch oven or heavy pot. Add the sausage and cook on all sides. About 15 minutes.

• Add seasonings, cheese, and water. Stir once more. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 45 minutes.
• Potatoes should be tender. Sprinkle liberally with Romano cheese. Serve with garlic bread and a salad. Makes 6 servings.

SLOW COOKER ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND PEPPER STEW

Steps:

• 1. Coarsley chop veggies - potatoes cut to about 1 and a half inch pieces. Line the bottom of a 5 - 6 qt. slow cooker with the potatoes. Brown sausages whole (I use hot, but mild or sweet will taste just as good!) in pan, and place in single layer on top of potatoes. Saute peppers, onions, and garlic in a little oil in pan about 2 minutes to just soften edges. Deglaze pan with some of the broth to get all that good flavor, and pour evenly over top of the sausages. Sprinkle the tapioca over the pepper mix. Next layer, pour tomatoes with juice evenly on top of peppers. Oregano, salt, and pepper sprinkled, then finish by pouring chicken broth over everything. DO NOT MIX! Leave in layers.
• 2. Cook on LOW for 4 hours. Remove sausages and let rest. Turn heat to HIGH, add 2 heaping tablespoons of cornstarch mixed with a little water to pot and stir in. Slice up the sausages, return to pot - stir in. Cover and continue cooking on high for 20 minutes or until sauce has thickened slightly. Serve with grated parmesan and garlic bread.
