Hearty Cabanossi Stew
A steaming pot full of aromatic vegetables and spicy cabanossi sausage - this stew is pure comfort in a bowl. The combination of crisp beans, juicy carrots, and floury potatoes in a tomato broth makes it the perfect soul warmer.

When I first cooked this stew for friends, everyone was delighted by the combination of hearty sausage and fresh vegetables.

Essential Ingredients and Their Selection

  • Cabanossi: High quality for best flavor
  • Potatoes: Primarily waxy varieties for ideal consistency
  • Beans: Fresh ones are crispier, frozen work too

Sauté onions until translucent for sweet aroma
Briefly fry garlic
Cut vegetables evenly for uniform cooking

The Perfect Consistency

The key is in the right timing:

  • Potatoes first, as they take longer
  • Add beans later for firmness
  • Do not stir too much to prevent vegetables from falling apart

Over the years, I've learned that the quality of the cabanossi is crucial for the flavor.

Creative Variations

Over time, I have developed different versions:

  • With parsnips for more flavor
  • With leek for additional aroma
  • Experimented with different types of sausage

Serving Suggestions

  • With fresh country bread
  • With a dollop of sour cream
  • With chopped parsley

This stew is the epitome of winter cuisine for me. It reminds me of my grandmother's stews, which were always particularly hearty and filling.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I use other types of sausage?
Yes, hot dogs or chorizo also work well. Adjust the seasoning as needed, since cabanossi is already quite spicy.
→ Which beans work best?
Fresh or frozen beans are ideal. Canned beans also work, but add them only 5 minutes before the end of cooking time.
→ Can I freeze the stew?
Yes, the stew freezes well in portions. When reheating, you may want to add a little broth.
→ Is the stew spicy?
No, it's flavorful from the cabanossi but not spicy. If you like it spicier, you can add chili powder.
→ What side dishes go with it?
The stew is a complete meal. Fresh baguette or rustic bread pairs very well with it.

Ingredients

→ Main ingredients

01 300g cabanossi sausage or kielbasa
02 600g waxy potatoes
03 500g carrots
04 400g green beans
05 1 red onion
06 2 garlic cloves
07 850ml vegetable broth
08 1 can diced tomatoes (about 400g)
09 Vegetable oil for sautéing

→ Herbs and seasonings

10 1 teaspoon sweet paprika powder
11 1 teaspoon dried basil
12 1 teaspoon Italian herb blend
13 Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 01

Slice the cabanossi sausage into rounds about ¼ inch thick. Peel the potatoes and cut them into approximately ½ inch cubes. Peel the carrots and slice them into ¼ inch rounds. Finely dice the red onion and mince the garlic. Trim the ends of the green beans and cut them in half.

Step 02

Heat a splash of oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sliced cabanossi and brown for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion begins to soften, about 2-3 minutes more.

Step 03

Add the potato cubes, carrot slices, vegetable broth, and canned tomatoes to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cover partially and cook for about 12 minutes, until the potatoes are starting to soften.

Step 04

Add the green beans, paprika, dried basil, and Italian herbs to the pot. Continue simmering for another 12 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender but not mushy. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Notes

  1. This hearty, flavorful stew is perfect for cold days and tastes even better the next day after the flavors have melded.
  2. The cooking time will vary depending on how finely you cut your vegetables - smaller pieces will cook more quickly.
