Sausage Butternut Squash Stew
Spice up your butternut squash with sausage and fall spices. A meat-filled stew will fill you up and infuse your home with the scents and flavors of fall.
Cook the sausage until completely cooked on a frying pan. Remove from pan and add onion, carrot, cubed butternut squash, and celery to the pot. Cook until vegetables begin to soften, and then add garlic, thyme, sage, ginger, and cayenne pepper.
Sauté until fragrant. Stir in white wine or white wine vinegar. Add diced tomatoes, cooked sausage, and chicken broth and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and serve steaming hot in your favorite bowls.
We recommend using our Boerewors Sausage. The meat, flavored with coriander, pepper, and cloves, makes the stew even more savory and comforting.
