Prep Time
15 minutes

Cook Time
1 hour

Servings
Serves 6

Ingredients

  • 6 pork sausages cut into thick pieces (replace with thick mushrooms for vegetarians)

  • 2 red capsicums cleaned and cut into strips

  • 1 green capsicum cleaned and cut into strips

  • 2 bullhorn peppers cleaned and cut into strips

  • 1 red onion finely sliced

  • 2 cloves garlic finely chopped

  • 400 g tomatoes tomato passata

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 tbsp tomato paste

  • 3/4 cup red wine

  • 1 pinch oregano dried, preferably Greek

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • Salt and pepper to season

Instructions

  1. Heat a little olive oil over a medium heat and saute the sausages until they are browned and cooked through (10-12 mins). Once browned, remove and set aside.

  2. Using the same pan add a little more olive oil and add the capsicum medley along with the onions. Cook until softened-around 10 mins.

  3. Add the remaining ingredients and allow to come to the boil. Season with salt and pepper, reduce the heat and simmer the mixture for 20 mins.

  4. Add the sausages to the mixture-give everything a good stir and allow it to simmer for another 15-20 mins.

Grandma’s Suggestion

Serve it up with couscous, mashed potatoes, or boiled rice. Bread is a must!
