Sausage and Bean Hotpot

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 large peppery pork sausages
  • 1 sliced onion
  • 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp tomato purée
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 400g tin of chopped tomatoes
  • 100ml red wine
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 400g tin of butter beans
  • Preheat the oven to 220C. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a casserole dish and fry the sausages for 8 mins, to brown all over. Transfer to a plate, then tip the onions into the pan and fry for another 8 mins, or until golden.
  • Stir in the vinegar, tomato purée and paprika to make a paste, then add the tomatoes and wine. Stir in the beans and bay leaves, arrange the sausages on top, then bring to a simmer before baking in the oven for 20 mins. Serve with mash or crusty bread - yum!
