Sausage Stew

A cheap Indian inspired stew that pairs well with bread

This recipe is a Paul-certified classic. It is easy to make (only about 30 minutes), and is quite filling for when you are having a busy week.

Ingredients

  • Sausage (pork works well)
  • Cooking oil
  • A (small) tin of tomato paste
  • Yellow onion
  • Garlic
  • Bell peppers (different colors looks the nicest, doesn’t really matter for taste)
  • Beef broth
  • Garam masala (can sub for 5-spice)
  • Pepper
  • Dark soy sauce (for color and salt)

Cooking plan

  • First, cook your sausage in an oiled pan until golden brown. Get some Maillard reaction going.
  • Put the sausage aside and cut it into bit-sized pieces.
  • Dice your onion and bell peppers, and heat them in the pan until most of the water has evaporated.
  • Add your garlic and tomato paste, and let it cook until fragrant.
  • Add your garam masala and pepper to a beef broth. You should be able to smell it.
  • Add the seasoned beef broth and cooked sausage into the pan, and let the mixture reduce to a desired texture.
  • Finally, add some dark soy sauce for color and salt.

ENJOY!
