Sausage and Vegetable Tomato Stew Recipe

Prepare all of your fresh ingredients. Wash and chop the peppers, zucchini, onions, mushrooms (if adding), potatoes and sausage. Peel the garlic and prepare all the seasonings.
2-3 potatoes, 1 red bell pepper, 1 onion, 1 clove garlic, 1 zucchini, 150 g smoked sausage, 2-3 mushrooms
Heat the oil in the Dutch oven on medium heat. Once the oil is hot add the sausage. Cook for about 3 minutes tossing/flipping halfway.
1 tbsp oil, 150 g smoked sausage
Next, add the onion and cook for 2 minutes stirring occasionally. If you are using a Dutch oven it will get equally hot on all sides so be sure to scrape down the sides when you stir as well.
1 onion
Then press in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then add the bell pepper. Cook for another minute or 2, stirring occasionally.
1 clove garlic, 1 red bell pepper
Now add the zucchini and mushrooms and cook for a further 2 minutes.
1 zucchini, 2-3 mushrooms
Next, add the vegetable stock and potatoes. Turn the heat down to low, or medium-low if using a regular pot, cover and cook for 10 minutes.
1 ½ cups vegetable stock
Finally, add the passata, sweet pimento, both paprikas and salt. Cook covered for a final 20 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes or so to prevent burning.
2 tbsp sweet pimento, 1 ½ tsp sweet paprika, ½ tsp smoked paprika, 660 ml passata, ¼ tsp salt
Serve with bread or on a bed of rice.
