  • 8 large Sausages
  • 1 Jar Tomato Sauce
  • 1200 g Butter Beans

  1. Step 1

    In a large casserole, fry the sausages until brown all over – about 10 mins.

    8 minutes
    Test the oil temperature with a small piece of food — it should sizzle immediately.
  2. Step 2

    Add the tomato sauce, stirring well, then stir in the beans, treacle or sugar and mustard. Bring to the simmer, cover and cook for 30 mins. Great served with crusty bread or rice.

    15 minutes
    Keep the heat low — gentle bubbles, not a rolling boil.
