Recipe - Potato And Sausage Stew

2 tablespoon Butter; or oil, or marjorine
1 Carrot; chopped
2 Stalks of celery; (leaves
included), chopped
1 lg Onion; chopped
Thyme; and/or sage, and/or
rosmary
1 cup Peeled tomatoes; chopped,
(or tomato sauce, or 2 tb
tomato paste dissolved in
water)
8 lg Potatoes; peeled and cut
into 46 pieces
16 ounce Italian sausage; unpeeled,
cut into 4inch long pieces

Place the shortening, the chopped vegetables and the herbs of your choice
in a large heavybottomed pan with a couple tablespoon of cold water. Cover with
lid and cook over low heat until tender, about 20 minutes. Add tomatoes (or
tomato sauce, or tomato paste), potatoes, sausage and some cold water (2
cups approx). Stir gently, in order not to "break" the sausage pieces.
Replace lid and cook on low/medium heat, stirring occasionally, until
potatoes are very tender. Adjust seasoning, adding some salt and pepper if
you like. Test for consistency according to your tastes, adding some hot
water if you like the stew to be more "souplike". Serve with
steamed/boiled vegetables or some fresh salad.
