Well while most of Europe is absolutely FREEZING!, the weather here is just like spring time. we have temperatures averaging 25 degrees! so I am taking advantage of every beautiful day trying to be outside as much as possible, walking the dogs along the beach & Costas is collecting olives, so if any one wants to get away from the winter.............come on over!
Here is another of our Restaurant’s scrumptious dishes for you all to try. It is easy to put together & will amaze any guest!
This fantastic winter warmer is a hearty dish that served with a good helping of creamy mash potatoes on a winters evening is simply delicious!
Spetsofai – Village Sausage with green peppers in a red wine sauce. Serves 2-4
You will need:
500gms Sausages (you can use your favourite flavour sausage)
2 Green peppers
4 Large Ripe tomatoes (or a tin of chopped tomatoes)
1-2 Cloves of Garlic (whole)
2 Teaspoons of chopped fresh parsley (you can use dried if fresh is not available)
150ml olive oil
25ml Red wine
1 Bay Leaf
Salt & black pepper
Prepare:
Wash, de-seed & slice Green peppers (cut in to large-ish pieces)
Cut tomatoes in 2 (across the middle) and grate in to a bowl (making sure that you get all the meaty part of the tomato, leaving just the skin)
Slice garlic in 2
Cut sausages in to 2cm pieces
Method:
You will need a good sized frying pan & a medium sized saucepan.
1. Add a little of the oil to the frying pan and heat.
2. Sauté sausages until they have a nice golden colour. (Then transfer them to the sauce pan)
3. Sauté green peppers until soft. (Then add to the saucepan)
4. Add grated tomatoes, red wine, Bay leaf, garlic, salt, pepper & the rest of the oil. Bring to the boil (Then add to the saucepan)
5. Simmer all the ingredients in the saucepan for 10-20mins or until the sauce thickens.
6. Add the chopped parsley & stir through. (Here is a little tip: Taste your sauce, if is too acidic sprinkle a few grains of brown sugar to soften the flavour)
7. Serve to the table.
enjoy!
