Spiced Bean and Banger Stew

Mmmmm…this spiced bean and banger stew is delicious!   We love sausages…especially Asda Extra Special Classic Pork Sausages…to the point that there’s usually always a ‘just in case’ pack in the freezer!   If you like cassoulet, then this is definitely a recipe for you to try.

One cooking programme we’ve been enjoying watching on BBC is Nadiya’s Family Favourites.   We don’t have the recipe book from that programme, but we recently got her Nadiya’s British Food Adventure recipe book where this dish is adapted from.

At the time of writing this, we’ve only made it once, but it’s most definitely one of those dishes that will be made again and again.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Ingredients

• 400g pork sausages (pack of 6) cut into chunks
• 50ml olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
• 3 celery stalks (approx. 100g) sliced

• 500ml chicken stock
• 15g fresh parsley finely chopped

Instructions

1. Use a large casserole or heavy-based pan and place on a medium heat. Add the chunks of sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, making sure they are fully cooked through. This should take only about 10 minutes.
2. Remove the sausage pieces from the pan, leaving the pan on the heat and setting the sausage aside in a bowl.
3. Add the olive oil and garlic to the pan and cook for a 2 minutes. Now add the celery, red onions, tomato purée, carrots, salt and tomatoes. Cook on a medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes.
4. Add the paprika and cinnamon to the sauce and let the spices cook for 5 minutes.
5. Add the beans, chicken stock and the cooked sausage, put the lid on the pan, and cook on a medium to low heat for 45 minutes.
6. Once cooked through, the whole stew will have thickened significantly.

8. Serve…and most importantly enjoy!!
