Sausage stew is a savory dish, perfect for days when you crave a warm, quick, and delicious meal. This simple recipe is ideal for preparing during the week, but also when you have guests and want to offer them something tasty. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:
- 4-5 sausages (preferably pork or beef, depending on preference)
- 1 medium onion
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1 carrot
- 2-3 tablespoons of sunflower or olive oil
- 400 ml of water or meat broth
- 1 teaspoon of sweet paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients
Start by peeling and chopping the onion. Grate it finely or chop it small, depending on your preference. The potatoes and carrot should be peeled and diced. These sizes will help with even cooking, and the final texture will be pleasant.

Step 2: Sauté the onion
In a deep pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the grated onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent. This step is essential for bringing a rich flavor to your dish.

Step 3: Add the vegetables
Once the onion is ready, add the potatoes and carrot. Sauté them together for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help the vegetables develop a delicious aroma and soften slightly before adding the liquid.

Step 4: Add the sausages
Cut the sausages into slices or cubes, depending on preference, and add them to the pot. Stir well to integrate them among the vegetables. Let them fry for a few minutes until they start to brown slightly.

Step 5: Add the liquid
Pour the water or meat broth into the pot. This will add a rich flavor to your stew. Sprinkle in the sweet paprika, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix everything and let it simmer on low heat, covered, for about 20 minutes. Check occasionally to ensure the vegetables don’t stick to the bottom of the pot.

Step 6: Serve
After 20 minutes, check if the vegetables are soft and the sausages are cooked. If necessary, let it cook a few more minutes. Once the stew is ready, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a minute. You can garnish it with chopped fresh parsley for an extra touch of color and flavor.

Serving suggestion:
Sausage stew pairs wonderfully with a slice of fresh bread or polenta. It will soak up the delicious juices and turn the meal into an even more enjoyable experience.

Possible variations:
You can experiment with different vegetables, such as bell peppers or zucchini, or add spices like oregano or thyme to vary the flavors. Additionally, you can substitute the sausages with other sausages or chicken for a healthier option.

This sausage stew recipe is a perfect example of a quick dish that can be adapted to your preferences. Enjoy every bite and savor the comfort of a tasty meal made with love!
