garlic & chilli sausages with smokey bean

Ingredients

• 2 packs of TONZU GARLIC & CHILLI SAUSAGES
• 3–5 tbsp Olive Oil
• 2 medium (or 1 large) Brown Onion, diced
• ½ tsp Chilli Flakes (more or less according to your taste preference)
• 3–5 cloves of Garlic, crushed
• 1 Red Capsicum, diced
• 1 Yellow Capsicum, diced
• 2 cans of chopped Tomatoes or equivalent of Passata or other Tomato sauce
• 2 cans of Beans, rinsed well and drained (try Cannellini, Borlotti, Kidney or Black Beans)
• 1 tsp Italian/Mixed Herbs
• 1 large (or 2 small) Lemon, zest and juice
• 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
• 1 tsp Salt & Pepper to taste
• ½ cup Water, more as needed
• Baby Spinach (optional)

Method

1. Warm approximately 3 tbsp Olive Oil in a large fry pan or saucepan and add the onion. Sauté for 5–10 mins until softened and clear. 2. Add the garlic and chilli flakes and continue to stir. 3. Add the capsicum and drained beans and stir into the onions. 4. Add the tomatoes, herbs, lemon zest and juice, smoked paprika, salt and pepper and ½ cup of water. Bring to the boil and then reduce to a simmer for 20–30 mins, adding more water if needed to maintain a stew/casserole-type consistency. 5. While that’s cooking, heat a pan with a drizzle of olive oil and fry the sausages until golden brown.

To Serve

Serve in a bowl and top with your pan-fried or baked sausages and garnish with roughly chopped basil or parsley or both! If you desire a larger or more filling meal, serve on a bed of quinoa or brown rice. Another variation is to chop your cooked sausages and stir through before serving.
