"SPETSOFAI" GREEK COUNTRY SAUSAGE CASSEROLE

This sausage dish is the specialty of the Mount Pilion area. Mostly served during the winter months in the mountain tavernas. Local people still make their own spicy sausage. I spent Easter there, wanted to taste the dish made by the locals but cause of Lent they didn't serve any meat dishes. So I bought some & this is how I made...

Spetsofai image

Greek dish of sausages, eggplants and peppers. The 50 minutes cooking time is not really all "passive" time, because part of the time the sauce is simmering you are sauteing the meat and vegetables.
