Sausage and Chickpea Stew

I have been making versions of this stew for a few years now, its easy to make and any sausages work, each one adds its own twist to it, this was a garlic sausage. I have also used cannelloni beans and any in season vegetables. 

Ingredients:

• one pack of sausages sliced
• 2 cloves of garlic chopped 
• 2 carrots diced
• one small red onion chopped 
• one stick of celery diced
• one zucchini chopped
• one squash chopped
• one can of chickpeas
• one can of tomatoes or 4 fresh tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons of tomato puree 
• a handful of spinach chopped
• salt and pepper to taste 
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian herbs

Method:

1. heat a little olive oil and add one small red onion and garlic, sauté for about 5 minutes 
2. then add the zucchini, spinach, carrots and squash and cook for about 10 minutes until soft, add the herbs, salt and pepper, add the can of tomatoes and a little extra water to get enough sauce, mix in tomato pureed and turn down to a simmer for about 15 minutes 
3. serve with polenta, pasta, quinoa or cous cous 

This is such a great dish to add into your rotation, let me know what you think.
