You’d never know there are over 10 cups of veggies hiding in this recipe. Finely chopped in the food processor, the vegetables are mixed with sausage meat and fresh tomatoes (or canned, depending on the season). This is our ideal ratio of ingredients, but feel free to play around with the veggies you have on hand.
