Ingredients

• 1 lb sausage (Italian or smoked)
• 1 large yellow onion
• 2 medium bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 3 medium russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste

• 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the sausage into 1-inch pieces. Peel and dice the onion. Core and slice the bell peppers into strips. Mince the garlic. Peel and chop the potatoes into 1-inch cubes.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the sausage pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pot and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the onion and bell peppers. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the tomato paste to the pot and stir it into the vegetables. Cook for 1-2 minutes to develop its flavor.

Step 7

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and broth. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Add the potatoes, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir to incorporate the seasonings.

Step 9

Return the browned sausage to the pot and bring the stew to a gentle boil.

Step 10

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the stew simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 11

Taste the stew and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 12

Serve the stew warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
