1 tsp olive oil
4 5-inch chicken and apple sausages, each quartered
1 large yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
1 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1/8 tsp ground red pepper, optional
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1-inch rounds
2 1/2 cups water
1/2 pound green beans, trimmed and halved
1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
4 sprigs fresh thyme, for garnish
Pita bread

1. In a heavy 4-quart Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage, bell pepper and onion. Saute’ until browned, about 4 minutes.

2. Add the curry, thyme, coriander, salt, cloves, and red pepper (if desired). Stir constantly until the spices start to cook and become fragrant, about a minute.

3. Add the sweet potatoes and 2 cups of the water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook for 8 minutes. Add the green beans. Cover and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-8 minutes.

4. In a small bowl, stir the remaining 1/2 cup water into the flour until smooth. Stir into the sausage mixture and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until thickened.

5. Spoon into 4 bowls and garnis with thyme. Serve immediately with pita that has been browned in a skillet or heated in microwave.

TIPS: If you heat the pita in the microwave, wrap with wet paper towels to keep them soft.
