Spanish-Style Smoked Sausage And Bean One-Pot

Cooking time approx: 35-40 minutes
Cooked on the hob
Serves approx: 4

250g Smoked Pork Sausage, sliced (pre-cooked e.g Mattessons Smoked Pork Sausage)
400g Tinned chopped plum Tomatoes
410g Can of Cannellini Beans, drained and rinsed
1 Onion, peeled and chopped
2 Cloves of Garlic, peeled and chopped
2 Sticks of Celery, chopped
1 Red Pepper, deseeded, sliced and roughly chopped
150ml Dry White Wine
A little oil for frying
Freshly ground Black Pepper

Heat the oil in a large frying pan and add the sliced Pork Sausage. Cook for 4 minutes, turning halfway through.
Add the onion, celery, red pepper and garlic, and cook until soft
Stir in the wine and tomatoes
Season with a little black pepper
Simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened
Add the cannellini beans and simmer for about 5 minutes or until the beans are hot and have softened.
Serve hot in bowls

Serve with fresh crusty rolls. Tiger rolls are lovely with this but you can choose any rolls or bread that you like.

You can use smoked, skinned Chorizo if you prefer, but don’t add oil to the frying pan as the Chorizo will release its own oil as it cooks.
If you want to reduce the fat content you can use a reduced- fat cooked smoked pork sausage instead.
If you’re not keen on garlic you can leave it out
You can use any colour pepper you prefer or have handy
If you’re not keen on white wine in food you can change it for 150ml of stock of your choice.
Tinned food weights can vary depending on the brand so if they’re a little less or a little more don’t worry, you will still have a tasty one-pot meal to enjoy.

You can freeze any leftover portions for future use. Defrost then reheat in a microwave, using a microwaveable bowl.
