Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 red or white onion (diced)
  • 8 pork sausages
  • 2 garlic cloves (crushed or grated)
  • 400 g tin tomatoes
  • 100 ml red wine ((optional - see Note 1))
  • 400 g tin butter beans (drained)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped (plus extra for garnish))

Instruction

  • Put the olive oil in a large frying pan and add the sausages. Fry for 5 minutes, until browned on all sides. Remove the sausages to a plate. (See Note 2.)
  • Put the the diced onion in the same pan and turn the heat down low. Cover with a lid and fry for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions have softened and are lightly browned.
  • Add in the garlic and fry for 1 more minute. Then add in the tinned tomatoes and red wine (if using) plus some salt and pepper. Bring to the boil, then turn down and allow to simmer, with the lid off, for 10 minutes.
  • When the sausages are cool enough to handle, chop each one into 6 pieces. (See Note 3.)
  • After the casserole has been simmering for 10 minutes, add in the butter beans and the sausage pieces. Simmer for a further 5 minutes. Then stir in 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, rice or pasta and green vegetables - or just serve with crusty bread and a glass of whatever red wine you used in cooking. Sprinkle over some extra parsley as a garnish.
