About this recipe

This potato stew with sausage is a dish that reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. She, with her culinary wisdom passed down from generation to generation, prepared simple but flavorful stews. Although she didn't have a Thermomix®, the spirit of this dish is the same: humble ingredients transformed into a comforting meal. The potatoes are the base of this stew. I use potatoes of a variety that remain firm when cooked, such as monalisa or agria, so that they do not fall apart too much during cooking. The sausage, of course, is the soul of the dish. A good Iberian sausage, with its infiltrated fat and intense flavor, provides an unmatched depth of flavor. If you prefer a spicier touch, you can use spicy sausage, or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the stew. The onion and garlic, slowly fried, create a fundamental aromatic base. The bay leaf, a simple but powerful leaf, adds a subtle herbal touch that enhances all other flavors. The paprika, whether sweet or spicy, gives it a characteristic reddish color and a delicious smoky flavor. The Thermomix® greatly facilitates the preparation of this stew. By chopping the onion and garlic finely, they integrate better into the stew and release all their aroma. It is important to fry the onion and garlic well before adding the sausage, so that they caramelize and add sweetness to the dish. When sautéing the potatoes with the paprika, they are impregnated with its flavor and color. The key to keeping the potatoes tender but not falling apart is to cook them at the right temperature and speed. The left turn prevents the potatoes from breaking too much during cooking. If you see that the stew is getting dry, you can add a little more water during cooking. For a vegetarian or vegan version, you can substitute the sausage with smoked seitan or portobello mushrooms. Instead of water, you can use vegetable broth to give it more flavor. You can also add other vegetables, such as peppers, carrots or peas. To give it a different touch, you can add a few strands of saffron to the stew. This potato stew with sausage is perfect to serve as a single dish, accompanied by a good piece of crusty bread to dip in the sauce. You can also serve it with a fresh green salad to balance the richness of the stew. A young and fruity red wine pairs very well with this dish. If you have leftover stew, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a couple of days. You can also freeze it to consume later. When reheating, you may need to add a little water so that it does not become too dry. You can prepare the onion and garlic sauce in advance and store it in the refrigerator until it is time to prepare the stew. This will save you time and allow you to enjoy this delicious dish even on the busiest days.
