Description

This robust and aromatic stew combines sweet Italian sausage with the deep, earthy flavor of dried porcini mushrooms. The sausages are browned until crispy, then simmered with canned tomatoes, red wine, and garlic to create a thick, savory sauce. The rehydrated mushrooms add a luxurious texture and umami depth that elevates this simple dish. Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or a hearty lunch, it serves four comfortably. While traditionally served over pasta or polenta, it stands alone beautifully as a rich main course. The flavors meld beautifully as it simmers, making it an excellent candidate for make-ahead cooking.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place dried porcini mushrooms in a bowl and cover with 2 cups hot water. Let stand for 20-30 minutes until softened.
  2. Drain mushrooms, reserving the soaking liquid. Squeeze excess water from mushrooms and chop roughly if they are large.
  3. Heat a heavy large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sausage meat and garlic.
  4. Saute sausage, breaking it into small pieces with the back of a spoon, until cooked through and browned, about 10 minutes.
  5. Add tomatoes and their juices, rehydrated porcini mushrooms, reserved porcini soaking liquid, red wine, and bay leaves to the pot.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  7. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered until the sauce thickens and reduces to about 6 cups, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour 15 minutes.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Discard bay leaves before serving.
