Although this stew is made with beef chunks and Italian sausage, you can use almost any combination of uncooked meats like pork, sausages, lamb, or poultry.
Pancetta, bacon, ham hooks, and kielbasa can also be included for even more flavors.
Traditional Italian Battuta, cubed onion, celery and carrot, is added along with garlic, herbs, chicken broth and tomato. Stew is finished with fresh escarole, cannelloni beans and parsley.
This delicious stew is prepared in a Dutch oven capturing all flavors. Slow cooking renders meats very tender; uncovering when near finished helps it’s texture.
