Equipment

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 onion
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 cup chicken bone broth or stock 250ml
  • 6 pork sausages 1lb/450g
  • 1 can chopped tomatoes 14.5oz/400g
  • 1 can cannellini beans 14.5oz/400g
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 cup frozen green beans 150g
  • 3 dried bay leaves
  • Small handful fresh sage optional
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Chop up the onion, garlic, red bell pepper and fresh sage leaves (if using).
  • Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a frying pan. Cook the sausages and onions together over a medium heat, until the sausage skins are sealed and starting to brown. This should take about 5 minutes.
    Be careful not to burn the onions, you just want to cook them until they start to soften.
  • Add the garlic to the frying pan and cook alongside the sausages and onions for 1 more minute.
  • Transfer the sausages, onions and garlic into the slow cooker.
    Add the rest of the ingredients to the slow cooker and cook on a low heat for 4 hours.
    I recommend adding any salt once the stew is cooked and you have had a chance to taste it first.
  • Serve the stew either on its own or with a side dish of mashed or roasted potatoes.
