Stewed potatoes and sausage, a comfort food from my childhood. My mom often made it when the temperatures started to drop and it got dark early. A classic dish to enjoy piping hot, wrapping you up from the first spoonful and tasting like home. That’s how it is for me.
The ingredients are very simple: potatoes, sausage, onion, water, tomato paste, and stock cube. In this case, I used the new Bauer meat cream stock, available in a handy tube to keep in the fridge, always ready to use. It contains over 60% selected vegetables, beef extract, Italian extra virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
Now that the cold season has arrived, this recipe will be a staple in our menu.
