Something I came up with during one of my Dexter, binges. This is super savoury, rich, filling, and above all, delicious. Very easy to make, as well. Serve over rice. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon pork fat (or oil, etc) |
1 medium onion, small dice |
2 stalks celery, small dice |
1/2 bell pepper, chopped (i like small dice, but do with it what you will) |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 -3 smoked sausage, sliced diagonally in thirds |
1 (5 ounce) can tomato paste |
1 1/2-2 cups water |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1 teaspoon lime juice |
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 teaspoon paprika (or smoked paprika, if you can) |
1/2-3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
1 bay leaf |
salt and pepper, to taste |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, sautée onion, celery and bell pepper until softened.
2. Add garlic and cook 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add sausage and let brown, making sure to stir fairly often.
4. Add 1 can of tomato paste, mixed with the 1.5 – 2 cups water (however thick you’d like your sauce, initially), to form a sauce.
5. Add to the skillet, with sugar, lime juice, oregano, cumin, paprika, red pepper flakes, bay leaf, and a little salt and pepper to start.
6. Cover and let cook 10-15 minutes, simmering over medium/medium-low heat. remove lid and let simmer 3-5 minutes, till sauce thickens to your liking.
7. Check for seasoning, and serve over rice!
