Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion diced, or red onion
  • 8 pork sausages
  • 2 garlic crushed or grated, cloves
  • 400 g tomatoes tin/canned
  • 100 ml red wine (optional - see Note 1)
  • 400 g butter beans drained, canned
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons parsley chopped (plus extra for garnish)

Instructions

  1. 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.)
  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.
  3. 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.
  4. When the sausages are cool enough to handle, chop each one into 6 pieces. (See Note 3.)
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

Notes

  • If you prefer not to use wine you can use chicken stock or water instead.
  • You can grill the sausages, if you prefer.
  • You can leave the sausages whole, if you prefer, but you may need to cook them in the sauce for slightly longer to ensure they are cooked all the way through.
  • Suitable for freezing.
  • Nutrition information is approximate and meant as a guideline only.
