Ingredients

• 4 pieces Musetto sausage
• 1 large Onion
• 2 medium Carrot
• 2 medium Celery stalk
• 2 leaf Bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
• 250 ml White wine
• 1 liter Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and finely dice the onion. Wash and dice the carrots and celery into small cubes.

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes or until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Add the musetto sausages to the pot and sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.

Step 4

Deglaze the pot by pouring in the white wine. Stir gently to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.

Step 5

Add the bay leaves, black peppercorns, and water to the pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer the sausages for 2 hours. Check occasionally to ensure the sausages remain submerged; add more water if necessary.

Step 7

After 2 hours, remove the sausages from the pot and set them aside. Taste the broth and adjust the salt, if needed.

Step 8

Serve the musetto sausages warm, garnished with chopped parsley, alongside polenta, mashed potatoes, or lentils. Enjoy!
