Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 package plant-based sausage (14 oz, such as Beyond Brat)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (only if your sausage needs extra oil)

  • ½ cup chopped celery

  • 1 cup diced onion

  • 1 cup diced bell pepper

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)

  • 2 teaspoons sugar

  • 2 teaspoons Creole seasoning

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • Black pepper to taste

  • Cooked rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, or polenta for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the vegan sausage according to its package. If using Beyond Brat, you don’t need to add oil because it releases its own.

  2. Slice the cooked sausage into bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet. Brown for a couple of minutes, then transfer back out and set aside.

  3. In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil if needed. Add the celery and onion. Cook until the onion becomes translucent.

  4. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 to 45 seconds with frequent stirring.

  5. Add the bell pepper and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes.

  6. Pour in the diced tomatoes. Add sugar, Creole seasoning, oregano, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

  7. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and return the browned sausage to the skillet. Cover and cook for 10 to 15 minutes.

  8. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve over rice, pasta, mashed potatoes, or polenta.

Notes

  • If your sausage does not release oil, add a small amount to prevent sticking.

  • This stew simmers into a thick sauce. If you want a thinner consistency, stir in a splash of vegetable broth.

  • If you reduce the amount of Creole seasoning for a milder flavor, you may need to add extra salt to balance the seasoning.
