    Italian sausage is one ingredient that does not disappoint when I want a dish packed with flavor without hours of cooking.

    I know stew is typically not served during summer, but I don't have a problem with this Italian sausage stew because there is no need to cook it in the oven.

    Instead, it's a one-pot dish that you can easily prepare on your stovetop.

    If you want to give it more of a summery kick, use all the colors of bell peppers that you can find --- then serve it with some savory bread like herb dinner rolls or green olive loaf!

    Ingredients

    An image showing all the ingredients you need to prepare one-pot sausage stew at home.
    • Olive oil - extra virgin olive oil, if possible.
    • Italian sausage - I used mild Italian sausage (salsiccia) for this sausage stew recipe and sliced each link into four portions.
    • Garlic - minced or grated.
    • Onion - sliced thinly.
    • Tomato paste - just use your favorite brand.
    • Stock - I generally use beef stock for making Italian sausage stew with vegetables.
    • Vegetables - bell pepper, celery, carrot, and potatoes; all chopped into chunks.
    • Cornstarch - you need to mix this with two tablespoons of water to thicken the sauce.
    • Herbs - I used dried oregano and thyme for this one-pot sausage stew.
    • Seasoning - chili flakes, salt, and ground black pepper.

    How to prepare stew with sausage

    Start by heating the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat.

    Once the oil is ready, add the sausage slices and brown all sides.

    Lightly frying the Italian sausage for browning and caramelization.

    Add garlic and onion, turn the heat to medium and cook until they turned soft.

    Sauteing the chopped Italian sausage with onions for more flavor.

    Add tomato paste and cook for about five minutes; adjusting the heat to medium-low and mixing constantly.

    Pour the stock.

    Pouring the stock into the Italian sausage as the base for the stew.

    Add oregano, thyme, chili flakes, salt, and pepper; mix to combine.

    Add the chopped bell pepper, carrots, celery, and potatoes, then mix.

    Adding a mix of vegetables as the last step in cooking sausage stew.

    Cover with a lid, turn the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil.

    Adjust the heat to medium-low and simmer until the vegetables and sausage are cooked.

    Taste and adjust the seasoning, then add cornstarch mixed with two tablespoons of water.

    Mix, cover again with a lid, adjust heat to medium-high and bring to a quick boil.

    Take the pan off the heat.

    Your stew with sausage and vegetables is now ready for serving!

    Helpful tips

    • Make sure you use a sharp knife when cutting the sausage.  It helps in keeping the meat intact.
    • Chop the vegetables in identical sizes; it helps in cooking them at the same time. 
    • Do not hesitate to add more stock or water if you prefer to have more liquid in your sausage stew.
    • Remember to taste and adjust seasoning before adding the cornstarch mix.

    Recipe variation

    • Herbs.  You can add other herbs if you like. For example, parsley and rosemary are both great with this Italian sausage stew.
    • Other vegetables. I add green peas or green beans sometimes, and I've always liked the result --- so do not hesitate to play around with your favorite vegetables.
    • Stock.  Both chicken and vegetable stock will work excellently with this one-pot sausage stew recipe.
