Sudanese-style Spiced Sausage Stew

Ingredients

Tips & Tricks

• For a spicier stew, increase the amount of cayenne pepper or add a chopped chili pepper.
• Serve the stew with Sudanese bread or rice for a complete meal.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or eggplant for additional variety.
• If you prefer a thicker stew, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with water and add it to the pot during the last few minutes of cooking.
