Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Sausages

  • Use kitchen scissors to cut the sausages into small meatball-sized pieces.
  • Heat a large pan over medium heat and add the sunflower oil.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the sausage pieces.
  • Cook them for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they’re golden brown all over.

Step 2: Add Flavor

  • Sprinkle in the dried oregano and add the sliced garlic.
  • Cook for another minute to release their flavors.
  • Next, add the chopped tomatoes, beef stock, olives, and sliced mushrooms to the pan. Stir everything together.

Step 3: Simmer and Serve

  • Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
  • This will give the sausages time to cook through and the sauce to thicken a bit.
  • Once done, you can serve this savory mixture over mashed potatoes or pasta.

FAQs

Can I use regular sausages instead of reduced-fat?

Yes, you can use regular sausages if you prefer. Just keep in mind that regular sausages might release more fat during cooking, so you may not need as much oil.

Can I substitute fresh tomatoes for canned?

Absolutely! If you have fresh tomatoes, you can chop about 400g of them and use them in place of canned tomatoes. You may need to simmer a little longer for the sauce to thicken.
