Instructions
-
If using dried beans, soak them in cold water for 24 hours – rinse thoroughly then drain.
-
In a 2.5 litre pot, cover the beans with cold water, add the bicarbonate of soda, bring to the boil, then simmer for 30 – 60 minutes, until nearly cooked – start checking them at 30 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, BBQ the sausages until just cooked – when cool enough to handle, cut into chunks.
-
Sauté the onion in a little olive oil over a low heat until they are dark golden and very soft.
- Raise the heat to medium-high add the garlic and spices and cook, stirring, for one minute.
- Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and wine – once the mixture has come to the boil cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Add the sausages and beans and warm through – 5 to 10 minutes.
