betty's maltese peperonata with sausages
A rich Maltese style stove top casserole filled with tomatoes, capsicum and flavourful sausages. Recipe came from a friend whose parents came to Australia as children from Malta. Delicious and ready in under an hour.
Serve with crusty bread and a side salad for a complete meal.
I have doubled the recipe given to me as I have a large family, feel free to halve as needed.
If you are feeding a LARGE crowd this can be doubled, you just need a big enough pot :)

How To Make betty's maltese peperonata with sausages
-
1In a heavy based casserole dish that can be used on your cook top, fry the sausages so they are browned all over but not cooked all the way through in a little oil.
-
2While they are cooking slice your onions and capsicums.
-
3Remove the sausages, add more oil and add the onions and capsicums. Cook and stir regularly for 10 minutes. While doing this slice your sausages into "coins" about 2cm thick (less than an inch).
-
4Return the sausages to the pot with the garlic and stir. Add everything else EXCEPT the lentils. Reduced heat to low and cook for 35 minutes. Add the rinsed lentils and cook for another 10 minutes.
-
5Serve with crusty bread to sop up the juices and a salad on the side - this is amazing and so delicious!
