"SAUSAGE" AND RED PEPPER STEW

mamagooskie

This is a vegan version of recipe I found in a cookbook of mine. The original recipe calls for chorizo but I used tofurky sausage instead.

I tried to keep the recipe as close to as original as possible so here is what I put in mine:

1 lb potatoes (cubed)

1 tbsp oil

1 cup of onion (diced)

1 red bell pepper and 1 orange bell pepper (seeded and chopped) (recipe called for 2 red, but I like color)

2 sundried tomato tofurky sausages (or 3.5 oz chorizo sausage) (chopped up small)

1 can of blue menu diced tomatoes (16 oz size)

1 can of blue menu chick peas

4 cloves garlic

The recipe only called for chopped parsley as garnish but didn't list any other herbs spices etc but if defintely needs salt, pepper, hot sauce.....or whatever you like.

You can also do the mediterranean version which is where you add eggplant and zuchinni, and you omit the sausage.

Heres how you make it:

Boil potatoes until soft (I cubed mine first)

meanwhile add oil to fry pan and add onion, garlic and peppers until begin to soften, add sausage and heat 2 more min. Then add cooked/drained potatoes, tomatoes and chickpeas and simmer until heated through.

VOILA.....add seasoning and serve.
