Ingredients

400 g (0.9 lb) pork sausages (pack of 6) cut into chunks
50 ml (0.21 cups) olive oil
4 cloves garlic finely chopped
3 celery stalks (approx. 100g) sliced
3 small red onions (approx. 300g) finely chopped
2 tbsp tomato purée
2 carrots (approx. 140g) thinly sliced
1 tsp salt
2 tomatoes (approx. 200g) chopped
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 x 400 g (28) tins butter beans drained and rinsed (see Notes)
500 ml (2 ¼ cups) chicken stock (made using 1 stock cube or pot)
15 g (¼ cup) fresh parsley finely chopped

Instructions

Use a large casserole or heavy-based pan and place on a medium heat. Add the chunks of sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, making sure they are fully cooked through. This should take only about 10 minutes.
Remove the sausage pieces from the pan, leaving the pan on the heat and setting the sausage aside in a bowl.
Add the olive oil and garlic to the pan and cook for 2 minutes. Now add the celery, red onions, tomato purée, carrots, salt, and tomatoes. Cook on a medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes.
Add the paprika and cinnamon to the sauce and let the spices cook for 5 minutes.
Add the beans, chicken stock and the cooked sausage, put the lid on the pan, and cook on a medium to low heat for 45 minutes.
Once cooked through, the whole stew will have thickened significantly.
Take off the heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Serve with some homemade bread!!

Notes

Vegetarian option - replace the pork sausages with plant-based alternatives or hearty vegetables like mushrooms and courgettes.
Bean variety - try using lentils, chickpeas or cannellini beans for variation in texture and flavour.
This spiced bean and banger stew recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.
