Ingredients

  • 2 large Italian sausages (~ 300 gr, 10 oz).
  • 1 large onion coarsely chopped.
  • 1 leek coarsely sliced.
  • 2 carrots sliced.
  • 1 celery stick coarsely sliced.
  • 2-3 potatoes cut in large cubes.
  • ~ ½ cup of extra virgin olive oil.
  • A bunch of fresh thyme.
  • A bunch of fresh oregano.
  • 2 cups of chicken broth.
  • ½ cup of white wine.
  • Salt and ground pepper.
Instructions
  1. Cut the steaks in cubes and slice the sausages in ~ 1 inch pieces.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan on medium to high heat. Cook the sausages and pork cubes until they get brown, ~ 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Let the juices reduce and add the wine. Cook until the alcohol evaporates, ~ 5 minutes.
  3. In a large cooking pot, add 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil on medium heat. Add the potatoes and fry them for ~ 10 minutes. Give a good stir from time to time.
  4. Add the carrots, onion, celery and leek. Continue frying for a few minutes until the leek and onion start getting soft. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add the fried pork and sausages to the pot. Add the (hot) chicken broth and make sure it covers all the ingredients. Add the bunch of herbs as they are, don't chop them.
  6. Reduce the heat to low-medium and cook for ~ 45 minutes until the juices have reduced and the potatoes have been cooked.
  7. Serve warm with nice bread and Feta cheese on the side.
  8. Bon appetit!
