Ingredients
  

  • 6 smoked sausages Montbéliard or Toulouse style
  • 4 ripe tomatoes diced or 400g canned crushed tomatoes
  • 2 onions thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 cm fresh ginger grated (about 2 cm)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon paprika or chili powder adjust to taste
  • 1 sprig thyme
  • white rice for serving

Equipment

  • Large skillet or Dutch oven
  • Sharp knife and cutting board
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Pot for boiling sausages
  • Serving dish

Method
 

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and gently drop in the sausages. Simmer for about 10 minutes to remove excess fat. Drain and let cool slightly before slicing into thick rounds.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the sausage slices and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, sauté the sliced onions until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, letting them sizzle for a minute.
  4. Toss in the diced tomatoes, turmeric, paprika (or chili powder), and thyme. Mix well and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Return the browned sausages to the pan, nestling them into the tomato mixture. Allow to simmer for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Notes

Use high-quality sausages for the best results. Adjust the spice level based on your preference; for a mild version, reduce or omit the chili powder. Don’t skip the boiling step—it reduces greasiness in the stew. Let the stew rest for 5 minutes before serving to enhance flavors. Leftover stew can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently, adding a splash of water if necessary. Serve over fluffy white rice, garnished with cilantro or parsley for a touch of freshness. A wedge of lime can add a citrusy element.
