Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 1 lb mild Italian sausage
  • 1/2 lb okra (thinly sliced)
  • 2 yukon gold potatoes (chopped into small bite sized)
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup polenta
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instruction

  • Start by browning the sausage over medium heat in a heavy bottom pan. Get a good sear on it - you want it to be well browned and broken up into little pieces
  • While the sausage is cooking, chop the okra, onions, potatoes and mince the garlic.
  • Drain the excess oil from the sausage and add in the okra, potatoes & onions. Sauté for about 4 minutes and add the garlic and polenta. Mix well, seasoning with the salt, pepper and red pepper flakes.
  • Increase the heat to high and add the chicken broth, bring to a boil. Stir well scraping the brown bits from the bottom of the pan. !
  • Reduce to simmer and cook for another 20 minutes stirring occasionally. Add in the frozen corn once the potatoes are cooked thru. 
  • The stew will thicken as it cooks. When the potatoes are fork tender, the stew is complete. Enjoy!
