Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon Olive oil in a pan and fry 6 Pork sausages until cooked through - about 12 minutes. Set aside.

  • Add 400 g Chopped tomatoes, 2 tablespoon Tomato puree, 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme, 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano, 0.5 teaspoon Paprika, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 100 ml Boiling water, 1 Chicken stock pot and 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper. Simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Add the cooked sausages, 235 g Cannellini beans and 70 g Spring greens.
  • Mix well and simmer for 5 minutes.

Notes

  • You can easily make this dish vegetarian or vegan, but swapping the sausages for a meat-free alternative. If you are using meat sausages, use any kind you like to add a different flavour.
  • If you don't like woody herbs like thyme, then you could use something more leafy like parsley or even chives.
  • Serve this sausage casserole on creamy mashed potatoes, or with some homemade potato wedges.
  • Add some extra greens by stirring in some spinach a couple of minutes before serving.
  • You could cook the sausages under the grill first to keep this dish lighter.
  • Why not finish this dish in the oven, and you could sprinkle some cheese on top so it goes a bit crispy.
  • Add some extra smokey flavour by adding some chopped up chorizo to the mix.
