It’s that time of year when blankets come out of the closets, thicker socks are worn and you crave stew. Rustic Ginger Sausage Stew is a recipe you have to try. If you like the taste of ginger, you’re in for quite the surprise.
“There is a charm in making a stew, to the unaccustomed cook, from the excitement of wondering what the result will be, and whether any flavor save that of onions will survive the competition in the mixture.” – Annie Besant
Rustic Ginger Sausage Stew
Perfect for a late night winter dinner.
Ingredients
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 3 stalks celery, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
- 2 tsp olive oil
- oz smoked turkey sausage
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 15 oz kidney beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 TBSP chili powder
- 1 TBSP Worcestershire sauce
- 1 15oz can diced fire roasted tomatoes
- 8 gingersnap cookies, crushed
Directions
- In a large saucepan, cook chopped carrots, celery, onion and sausage pieces in olive oil over medium heat until onion is nearly tender and sausage is browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add water, beans, chili powder, and Worcestershire sauce to pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Stir in undrained tomatoes and crushed gingersnaps. Cook and stir for 5 more minutes or until mixture thickens and bubbles.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
-
- 1) You can peel the carrots before chopping, though I prefer to leave the skin on.
2) Place gingersnap cookies in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
3) Vegetarian, beef or regular turkey sausage can be used instead of smoked turkey sausage.
4) Black beans can replace kidney beans.
