  • 1 red pepper deseed and finely cut
  • 2 clove garlic minced
  • 400 g (14oz) chopped tomatoes

  • Black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat oil in the casserole pot, brown the sausages on all sides and then remove them and set aside.
  • Add the fennel seeds and fry for 30 secs before adding in the onions, peppers and garlic and sautéing for about 8 mins or until softened.
  • Return the sausages to the pan, followed by the tomatoes, stock, balsamic vinegar, herbs and sugar, bring to the boil then simmer uncovered for 25 mins.
  • Add in the beans and simmer for another 5 mins before adjusting the seasoning and removing from the heat.

Notes

This recipe is easily doubled or tripled to feed a crowd. You can use other sausages if you don't have venison sausages and other beans of your choice instead of borlotti beans.
