Sausage and Vegetable Stovie

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 large onions, coarsely chopped

1 pound fresh pork sausage links

3 large potatoes, cubed

2 carrots, sliced

2 rutabagas, peeled and cubed

⅓ cup chicken stock

¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

salt and pepper to taste

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot with a tight fitting lid over medium-high heat. Cut the pork sausages in half and gently place into the pot. Cook the sausages for a few minutes until they begin to brown on all sides, then add the onions, and cook until the onions begin to brown, about 5 minutes.

Gently stir the potatoes, carrots, and rutabagas into the sausage and onion mixture, then pour in the chicken stock and Worcestershire sauce; season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the sausages are no longer pink in the center, the vegetables are tender, and the stock has been mostly absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes. If you wish, add additional chicken stock to make the dish saucier.
