Sausage, chicken, shrimp, mushrooms stew
( Pollo, salsiccia, gamberi e funghi in umido )

Our original home cooking

The beauty of attending social networks is to have the opportunity to travel around the world while you are sitting comfortably in front of your computer. This is how I read the recipe for Gumbo (New Orleans dish) given by foodblogger Paul Binns. I was immediately interested in its ingredients: chicken, sausage and shrimp. Even cooking method is intriguing but I think a bit too rich in butter and flour. And so as a good Italian, I got the inspiration from its main ingredients but then I worhed them according to the tradition of our cuisine. I added mushroomstoo to create a single-course dish. Fabulous! Try it!

  • - Prepare ingredients.
    Slice leek very finely.
    Cut chicken breast into pieces that you can put in your mouth whole.

Note

Tips

  • - You can use fresh or frozen shrimps. I used 16 shrimps.
  • - I never use bouillon cube because I prefer natural cooking. This is the reason why I add only hot water to my dish. On the other hand, there are a lot of aromatics that give a tasty flavor to it.
  • - You can prepare this dish ahead, even the day before without shrimps. Add them only just before serving when you heat it up.
  • - If you love garlic, add it to leek. You can add red hot chilli pepper too.

Menu planning

  • - Accompany chicken, shrimp, sausage, mushroom stew with grilled polenta. It is perfect for a rustic menu.
    For a full menu, Italian style: prepare a lot of assorted finger foods and serve them matched to a good cocktail. Then serve this dish accompanied by polenta. Finally a dessert.

Healthy eating

  • - Of course, this dish made with mixed meats, mushrooms and shrimps can not be chosen too frequently in your daily menu. Too nutritious because too rich in ingredients.
    On the contrary it is a good idea when you have guests and want to serve something new.

What's the right wine for " Sausage, chicken, shrimp, mushrooms stew "?

My husband and I matched Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi (white wine from Marches - Italy) to this dish with meat, shrimps and mushrooms.
