Tuccu with sausages

Recipe for Tuccu with sausages:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups dried broad beans (fava beans), soaked overnight and drained
• 4 Italian sausages, sliced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the sliced sausages to the pot and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
3. Stir in the soaked and drained broad beans, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the beans are tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally and add more broth if needed to prevent sticking.
5. Once the beans are cooked, use a potato masher or the back of a fork to mash some of the beans, leaving some whole for texture.
6. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
