Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil for frying
  • 8 to 10 pork sausages
  • 6 rashers smoked streaky bacon or 3 rashers smoked back bacon chopped
  • 1 large leek sliced
  • 1 clove garlic sliced
  • 100 to 150 ml (½ cup) chicken stock (see Notes)
  • 1 glass white wine (approx. 125ml)
  • a pinch of chilli flakes
  • 2 tbsp tomato purée
  • 3 roasted red peppers from a jar chopped
  • 400 g (14 oz) tin borlotti beans drained and rinsed (see Notes)
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • a small bunch of flat leaf parsley roughly chopped

To serve (optional):

Instructions

  • Heat the slow cooker to high. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat and brown the sausages all over, making sure you get a really good colour on them (around 8 minutes). Remove from the pan and set aside, then cook the bacon until crisp and golden (around 5 minutes). Add the sausages and bacon to the slow cooker along with the leeks, garlic, stock, wine, chilli flakes and tomato purée. Cook for 2 hours then add the peppers and beans and cook for another hour. Season and stir in the parsley before serving.

Notes

    • Stock - start off using 100ml of stock and if you find there's not much liquid when adding the peppers and beans, add in the other 50ml.
    • Beans - if you can't get borlotti beans, haricot, pinto and cannellini beans are good substitutes.
    • Enjoy with some crusty bread or on a baked potato - yum!
    • This slow cooker sausage casserole recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people, if you have a bigger slow cooker.
