You'll need

  • 8 reduced-fat pork sausages
  • 1 tin butter beans, drained
  • 1 tin cannellini beans, drained
  • 2 tins chopped tomatoes
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Method

How to make it

  1. Brown

    Heat the oil in a deep pan or casserole. Brown the sausages all over for about 6 minutes, then lift them out onto a plate.

  2. Soften

    Add the onion and carrots to the same pan and cook for 5 minutes until they start to soften.

  3. Build

    Stir in the paprika, then the tomatoes and both tins of drained beans. Bring to a bubble.

  4. Simmer

    Put the sausages back in, cover and simmer gently for 25 minutes. Cut one sausage open to check there is no pink in the middle.
