For a vegetarian version, omit the sausage and add a tablespoon of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor. This stew tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have had time to meld. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Feel free to add other vegetables to the stew, such as carrots, celery, or bell peppers. A bay leaf added during the simmering process can enhance the depth of flavor. Remember to remove it before serving.
