1 med. onion (or more) finely minced
4 cloves finely minced garlic
1 tsp. anchovy paste
1 TBL. green olive paste AND 1 TBL. ripe olive paste

2 TBL. capers
1/2 cup to 1 cup dry red wine OR beef stock OR tomato juice

16 oz. mushroom variety OR just button, 1/2 finely minced and the rest sliced

Recipe
Brown sausages, add onion, red and green peppers,celery and carrots, onion, minced mushrooms, zucchini, and garlic, adding garlic at the end.
Put in large PAM-sprayed crockpot.
Add jars of sauce, add the wine to the first sauce jar and fill with water and shake.
Cheapskate that I am, I then dump it into each of the other sauce jars and shake to get all the sauce!
Dump it into the crockpot, add remaining ingredients EXCEPT the sliced mushrooms.
Cook 6-8 hours on LOW, then add sliced mushrooms and cook about 30-60 minutes longer.
