Ingredients

• 8 pieces sausages
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large (finely chopped) onion
• 3 cloves (minced) garlic
• 2 medium (sliced, any color) bell peppers
• 400 grams canned crushed tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
• 0.25 teaspoon (adjust to taste) black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausages and set aside.

Step 2

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the sliced bell peppers to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 4

Stir in the canned crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and chicken or vegetable stock. Mix well to combine.

Step 5

Season the sauce with paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to incorporate the spices.

Step 6

Return the sausages to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the mixture simmer over low heat for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Once the sausages are fully cooked and tender, sprinkle chopped parsley over the top.

Step 8

Serve hot with your side of choice, such as mashed potatoes, pasta, or fresh crusty bread.
