Ingredients

• 500 grams sausage (your choice of type, e.g., pork, chicken, or plant-based)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 medium carrot, diced
• 2 medium celery stalks, diced
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
• 200 milliliters chicken or vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 150 grams all-purpose flour
• 100 grams unsalted butter, cubed and cold
• 100 grams grated cheddar cheese
• 50 grams breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages, breaking them into small chunks with a spatula. Cook for 5-6 minutes, until browned, then remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, chicken or vegetable broth, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, until slightly thickened. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish.

Step 7

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cubed cold butter, grated cheddar cheese, and breadcrumbs. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 8

Evenly sprinkle the crumble topping over the sausage mixture in the baking dish.

Step 9

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, before serving.
