Meat - Pork sausages in tomato sauce by Mirona C. - Recipia

Pork sausages in tomato sauce are served with potatoes, rice or pasta; after 20 minutes covered, the sauce gathers around them. I choose fresh sausages of similar thickness and watch for even browning on both sides before they go into the sauce to simmer over medium heat. Prep: 5 minutes. Cook: 31 minutes. Total time: 36 minutes. Serves: 2. Approximately 850 kcal and 32 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves
400 g fresh pork sausages
50 ml white or red wine
500 ml tomato juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
5 g fresh basil (optional)

Preparation

1. Peel the 2 garlic cloves and leave them whole. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan, fry the garlic for 1 minute on each side, then remove it. 2. Pat the sausages dry with paper towels and put them in the same pan. Brown them for 3 minutes on each side, until they take on some color. 3. Pour in 50 ml of white or red wine and let it boil for 3 minutes, until no liquid remains in the pan. 4. Add 500 ml of tomato juice, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper. Cover and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes, until the sauce thickens. If using basil, add 5 g at the end.

Notes

Thin sausages cook in the time given, while thick ones may need a few extra minutes covered. If the tomato juice is already salted, start with half the salt listed and adjust at the end. If the juice is watery, the sauce will be thinner; you can leave the pan uncovered for the last few minutes. Boiled potatoes or short pasta go well with the sauce. Store portions in a covered dish in the fridge for up to 3 days.
