Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time25 minutes
Total Time35 minutes
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Italian
Servings: 4 -6 people

Ingredients

  • 3 - thickly sliced Onions
  • 1 whole clove Garlic
  • 12 good quality Sausages
  • 250 ml 1 cup Red wine
  • 400 g 1 1/2 cups Tomato puree
  • 1 cube Beef bouillon
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  •  
  • Heat olive oil in a medium-size pot.
  • Saute the onions and whole clove of garlic (it will be taken out at the end), stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent but not brown.
  • Put in the whole sausages and brown them.  If you would like to reduce the amount of fat in the dish you can fry the sausages in a separate pan and add them to the onions once they are browned.
  • Pour in the wine and let most of it boil off.
  • Add the tomato, bouillon cube and salt and pepper.
  • Top up with water so that the sausages are covered. Turn down the heat to medium-low and let the sausages simmer uncovered for 25 - 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add a little water if they are getting dry.  At the end, turn up the heat to reduce the liquid until it reduces and becomes thicker.
