Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 6 pieces sausages (pork or chicken)
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium carrots, sliced into rounds
• 2 stalks celery stalks, chopped
• 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
• 500 milliliters chicken or vegetable stock
• 400 grams canned butter beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the sausages to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausages and set them aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic, sliced carrots, and chopped celery. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 5

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, chicken or vegetable stock, dried thyme, dried rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Return the sausages to the pot, cover, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Add the drained butter beans to the stew and continue cooking for an additional 10 minutes, uncovered, to allow the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce slightly.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the pot from heat and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.

Step 9

Serve the sausage and butter bean stew hot with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal.
