Ingredients

• 500 grams loukaniko sausage
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large, diced yellow onion
• 4 minced garlic cloves
• 2 medium, peeled and sliced carrots
• 2 sliced celery stalks
• 3 medium, peeled and diced potatoes
• 400 grams crushed tomatoes
• 750 milliliters chicken or vegetable stock
• 125 milliliters dry white wine
• 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh thyme
• 1 piece bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon, or to taste salt
• 0.5 teaspoon, or to taste black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish) parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Slice the loukaniko sausage into bite-sized pieces and add to the pot. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the sliced carrots and celery, cooking for another 4-5 minutes.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes to the pot and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Pour in the dry white wine to deglaze the pot. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom and allow the wine to reduce by half, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken or vegetable stock, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, and the bay leaf. Return the browned sausage to the pot.

Step 8

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Bring the stew to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.

Step 9

Simmer the stew for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the flavors have melded together.

Step 10

Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 11

Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm with crusty bread or a side of rice, if desired.
