  • 1 clove of garlic
  • quarter pound of sausage meat

Preparation

Step 1

In a pot add a couple glugs of olive oil & sauté clove of garlic until brown then discard.

On medium heat sauté veggies slowly for about 10 minutes - so they are not brown but translucent. Raise the heat slightly & add in meat - breaking up the pieces with a wooden spoon. Season with salt & pepper.

Add tomatoes & half a glass of water. Bring up to boil. Lower to a very low simmer for 2.5 hours stirring occasionally.
