🕒 Prep Time: 15 min

🍳 Cook Time: 20 min
🍽️ Yields: 3-4 servings

Ingredients

For the Potatoes:

  • 3-4 potatoes, boiled or roasted in skin
  • ¼ bunch fresh parsley, chopped
  • Coarse salt

For the Sausage and Vegetables:

  • 300 g Mangalitsa sausages (about 15-16 small links; pork or lamb sausages work too)
  • 1 medium white onion, sliced into rounds
  • 1 small red onion, sliced into rounds
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into large squares
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the Spicy Garlic Sauce:

  • 8 tbsp olive oil
  • 1-2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tsp hot chili paste (adjust for heat preference)
  • 2 tsp tomato paste
  • ¼ tsp ground cumin
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Spicy Sauce

  • Blend olive oil, garlic, chili paste, tomato paste, and cumin in a food processor or blender until smooth.
  • Season with salt to taste. Add 1 or 2 garlic cloves depending on how garlicky your sausages are.
  • Set aside and let the flavors meld until ready to use.

Note: This sauce is versatile and can be used in other dishes like shawarma.

2. Cook the Vegetables

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok with a lid over high heat.
  • Add sliced onions and green bell pepper and sauté, stirring frequently, until they develop pleasant golden spots but remain crisp (about 4 minutes).
  • Remove vegetables and set aside in a large bowl.

3. Cook the Sausages

  • In the same skillet, add sausages and 50 ml water. Immediately cover with a lid.
  • Let the sausages steam for 3-4 minutes until water evaporates.
  • Remove lid and continue cooking until water evaporates completely and sausages start to sizzle in the oil (you’ll hear a change from bubbling to crackling).
  • Brown sausages on one side, then flip to brown the other side.
  • If oil splatters excessively, cover with the lid again as needed. This step takes about 10 minutes.

4. Combine and Finish

  • Return sausages to the bowl with sautéed vegetables, leaving the oil in the skillet.
  • Add 2 tsp of the spicy garlic sauce and gently mix everything together.
  • Transfer the mixture to a serving platter.

5. Prepare and Serve Potatoes

  • Peel the boiled or roasted potatoes and break them into chunks.
  • Sprinkle generously with coarse salt and chopped parsley.
  • Drizzle 2-3 tsp of the spicy garlic sauce over the sausages on the platter.
  • Serve potatoes alongside.

💡 Tips

  • Use fresh or good-quality spicy chili paste for best flavor balance.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when sautéing sausages to ensure even browning.
  • Adjust garlic quantity in the sauce to taste.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
