This is a slightly more developed version of a Sausage Hotpot recipe which was improvised in an effort to use up various items in my refrigerator and larder.
I have decided to post it up on the Interweb since none of the recipes I have checked since are anything remotely like this invention.
It is a very tasty and nutritious meal, arguably well balanced in terms of carbohydrates, proteins and fat, covering three portions of vegetables, in accordance with the UK government's eat 5-a-day policy.
== Ingredients ==
* 4 sausages
* 1 tin of red kidney beans (rinsed well)
* 1 tin of chopped tomatoes
* 2 small onions or 1 large onion, chopped
* Fresh chopped garlic (I like plenty; you may prefer less)
* 1 tsp of La Chinata or other hot smoked paprika
* 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
* 1 tsp dried basil
* 1 tsp sugar
* 1 dash balsamic vinegar
== Preparation ==
# Cook the sausages as per the pack instructions.
# Pre-heat oven to 180 °C.
# Combine cooked sausages and all the other ingredients in a casserole dish.
# Put the lid on the casserole dish.
# Put the lidded casserole dish into the preheated oven, remembering to close the oven door and noting the time of commencement.
# Cook for 60 minutes, stirring well every 15 minutes to prevent sticking.
# Serve it up!
Note: I'd say this is pretty much a whole meal in itself *but* if you did want some accompaniment, I'd suggest a nice chunk of warm crusty bread would go down a treat (and if you were feeling really naughty, a nice bit o' butter on that bread).
