Sausage & Bean Casserole
Method:
  1. To begin making the Sausage & Bean Casserole heat the olive or rapeseed oil in a large heavy-based pan. Add the onion and cook gently for 5 minutes. Then add the celery and peppers and cook for a further 5 mins.
  2. Pop in the sausages and fry for 5 minutes, stir in the garlic, spices and dried thyme and continue cooking for 1 – 2 mins or until the aromas are released.
  3. Pour in the wine and use a wooden spoon to remove any residue stuck to the pan. Add the tinned tomatoes, and fresh thyme and bring to a simmer. Crumble in the stock cube and stir in.
  4. Cook for 40 minutes. Stir in the beans and cook for a further five minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs, season with black pepper and serve.
