Notes
- Cook's Tip #1: To keep the meat inside the sausage intact, make sure you use a sharp knife when cutting them.
- Cook's Tip #2: Chop the vegetables in identical sizes; it helps in cooking them at the same amount of time.
- Cook's Tip #3: Do not hesitate to add more stock, or water, if you want more liquid in your Italian sausage stew.
- Cook's Tip #4: Remember to taste and adjust seasoning before adding the cornstarch mix.
- Variation #1: Herbs - you can add other herbs if you like. Parsley and rosemary are both great with stewed sausages.
- Variation #2: 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.
- Variation #3: Stock - both chicken and vegetable stock will work excellently with these stewed sausages.
