Potato stew with thin sausages

Potato stew with thin sausages is served hot for lunch, with soft potatoes and a few spoonfuls of reduced cooking liquid. The onion, garlic and basil give the stew its flavor, while fresh parsley leaves a green note at the end. I prefer potatoes cut into two-centimeter cubes, no smaller. Prep: 20 minutes. Cook: 35 minutes. Total time: 55 minutes. Serves: 3. About 540 kcal and 15 g protein per serving.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion (150 g)
- 3 thin sausages (240 g)
- 800 ml water
- 4 medium potatoes (600 g)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon basil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 10 g fresh parsley
Preparation
1. Peel and finely chop the onion. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pot and cook the onion for 5 minutes, until softened. 2. Cut the sausages into pieces and add them to the onion. Pour in 100 ml of water and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, until the sausage pieces soften. 3. Peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes about 2 cm across. Crush the garlic. 4. Add the potatoes and garlic to the pot, then pour in 700 ml of water and add the basil, salt and white pepper. Simmer over low heat for 25 minutes, until the potatoes soften and the liquid reduces. Sprinkle with the chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
Firm-fleshed potatoes hold their shape, while floury ones break down faster in the liquid; larger potatoes may need a few extra minutes. Saltier sausages mean you should taste the stew before adding more salt. It has something in common with a simple potato stew, but the sausages make it more filling; for three servings, start almost an hour before the meal. Serve bread alongside, for mopping up the remaining liquid. Keep the stew in the refrigerator for no more than 3 days.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use fresh sausages instead of thin sausages?
Yes, brown them for 8 minutes before adding the water, then cook them with the potatoes until they are fully cooked.
What should I do if the liquid reduces before the potatoes soften?
Pour in another 100 ml of hot water and continue simmering until a fork slides easily into the cubes.
What can I use instead of basil?
Add 1/2 teaspoon of dried thyme instead and save the parsley for the end.
