Introduction

This hearty stew, seasoned with AMI Spices, combines sausage and a variety of fresh vegetables. Perfect for a warm and comforting meal, it's best served with fresh bread on the side.

Ingredients

• 1 onion
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 1 tablespoon of lard or oil
• 300g good quality sausage (e.g., country-style or dried)
• 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, and green or all red)
• 3 zucchinis (approx. 1 kg)
• 700g bottled tomato passata
• Spices: 2 spoons of AMI Spices (hot or mild), and 1 spoon of AMI Spices Herbs, salt and pepper based on own preferences.

Instructions

1. Prepare the base: In a large wide pot, melt the lard or heat the oil. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened.
2. Add the sausage: Peel and slice the sausage into rounds, then add to the onion. Fry over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Toward the end, add the minced or grated garlic.
3. Add the vegetables: Clean the bell peppers, remove the seeds, and dice them. Add to the pot and fry over a slightly higher heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Season and cook: Add the spices, followed by the diced zucchini. Stir and cook everything for another 5 minutes.
5. Add tomato passata: Pour in the tomato passata and stir. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook for another 5 minutes. Serve with fresh bread.

Tips

Instead of tomato passata, you can use 1 kg of fresh tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of tomato concentrate. Blanch the tomatoes, peel off the skins, remove the stems, quarter them, and remove the seeds and juice. Dice the tomatoes and cook the stew without covering it when using fresh tomatoes.
