Method

  1. Heat the olive or rapeseed oil in a large heavy-based pan. Add the onion and cook gently for 5 minutes. Add the celery and peppers and cook for a further 5 mins.
  2. Add the sausages and fry the sausages for 5 minutes, then stir in the garlic, spices and dried thyme and continue cooking for 1 - 2 mins or until the aromas are released.
  3. Pour in the wine and use a wooden spoon to remove any residue stuck to the pan. Add the tinned tomatoes, and fresh thyme and bring to a simmer. Crumble in the stock cube and stir in.
  4. Cook for 40 minutes. Stir in the beans and cook for a further five minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs, season with black pepper and serve.

    Haven't tried this particular version but I do a sausage and bean casserole that is similar and it freezes fine.

    Delicious, hearty winter food - was lovely with mash but equally would work well with a crusty stick of bread.

    Delicious dinner. I couldn't get hold of any adzuki beans, so used cannelini beans instead. Served with mash. Good comfort food.

    This is great, definately comfort food for these cold days. The sauce is gorgeous, can't help thinking I could use the sauce base for other things to. Happy cooking!

    I've never cooked with wine; what's a good wine to use?

    This tastes absolutely fabulous. The best meal I have cooked in the last few weeks. The smoked Paprika gives it a wonderful taste.

    Had ths last night and i have to say i was a little underwhelmed. It was ok but i felt that the sausages were wasted in it as they were overpowered by the chorizo. It may be better after leaving it for a day but probably won't be making it again.

    coconutcadang - never use cheap wine for cooking. The best rule is, if you like to drink it, it's ok to cook with it.

    Yum yum yum. I browned my sausages separately and sliced the chorizos. Then added chorizo back to casserole; finished it off then added the remaining sausages. Then cooked in oven gas mark 4 for 1 hour. Served with creamy mash hevan :)

    I loved this recipe! As a cheapo student I could only get a small chunk of chorizo from the deli counter and missed out the wine and cumin but it was amazing and good for comfort as well as the change purse :)

    For me, the balance was off - the strongest flavours were tomato and smoked paprika which I do like but they needed toning down a bit. Overall I liked it but will adjust the quanities next time.
