Ingredients

8 large Sausages
1 Jar Tomato Sauce
1200g Butter Beans
1 tbls Black Treacle
1 tsp English Mustard

Instructions

Heat a large casserole dish or heavy-based pot over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook, turning regularly, until they are evenly browned on all sides, about 10 minutes.
Pour in the tomato sauce and stir well so the sausages are fully coated. Add the butter beans, black treacle (or sugar), and English mustard.
Mix everything gently and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and the flavours are well combined.
Serve hot with crusty bread or rice.

Tips

Brown the sausages whole first, then slice them to ensure they stay juicy and have a nice color.
Use a variety of beans (cannellini, kidney, borlotti) to add different textures to the stew.
Add a tablespoon of black treacle or brown sugar to deepen the richness of the tomato sauce.

Variations

Chorizo Hotpot: Add sliced chorizo for a smoky, spicy Spanish-inspired flavor.
Vegetarian: Use plant-based sausages and vegetable stock for a hearty meat-free meal.
