Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.

Add the pork sausages and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausages and set aside.

Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes to deepen the flavor.

Step 6

Deglaze the pot with the dry white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 7

Add the diced tomatoes, chicken stock, thyme, bay leaves, and chopped parsley. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Return the sausages to the pot and bring the stew to a gentle boil.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 10

Add the diced potatoes and zucchini to the pot and continue simmering for another 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 11

Season the stew with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 12

Remove the bay leaves before serving.

Step 13

Serve the stew hot, garnished with extra chopped parsley and accompanied by slices of baguette or crusty bread, if desired.
