Notes

This stew is forgiving, so feel free to swap in other vegetables or types of sausage based on what you have.
Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
This dish gets even better the next day as the flavors meld, so it’s perfect for meal prep.
To enhance the flavor, consider browning the sausages before adding other ingredients, and don't skip the resting time for richer flavors!
