Ingredients
  • • 1 teaspoon avocado oil
  • • 1 pound vegan ground sausage or ground beef
  • • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
  • • 1-pound tomatoes, seeds removed and roughly chopped
  • • 1 yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • • 2 long green chilies or Anaheim peppers, deseeded and chopped
  • • 8 cloves garlic, minced
  • • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • • ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper, plus more to taste
  • • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • • 2 cups vegan beef broth
  • • ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • • ¼ cup white vinegar
  • • 1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and cut into ¾"-inch pieces
  • • 2 cups finely chopped carrots
  • • 1 cup green peas
  • • ½ cup green olives, cut in half
  • • Cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the sausage, season with the red pepper flakes and cook, breaking it up with the back of a wooden spoon, until heated through, 4 to 6 minutes.
  2. Add the tomatoes, onion, peppers and garlic, and season with the salt and pepper. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent, and the garlic is fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Next, mix in the tomato paste, broth, soy sauce, and vinegar. Add the potatoes and carrots, tossing to combine, and increase the heat to high. Once at a light boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the potatoes are just barely tender, 20 to 25 minutes, stirring every so often.
  4. Add the peas and olives, mixing to combine. Simmer another 8 to 10 minutes, until the potatoes are fork tender.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
  6. Serve immediately with white rice and enjoy!
