A comforting and flavorful stew featuring smoked sausage, hearty vegetables, and aromatic seasonings.
Slice the smoked sausage into thin rounds.
Cut the sausage evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and brown the sausage.
Allow the sausage to develop a golden crust for added flavor.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan and sauté until the onion is translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the diced potatoes and green beans to the pan.
Cut the potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking.
Pour in enough water to cover all the ingredients and bring to a boil.
Use broth instead of water for a richer flavor.
Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
The longer it simmers, the more the flavors meld together.
Season the stew with salt and pepper to taste.
Taste the stew before seasoning to avoid over-salting.
Serve the stew in bowls and enjoy with your favorite bread.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
