Sausage & Butter Bean Stew Recipe

How To Prepare Sausage & Butter Bean Stew?

Ingredients:

• 1lb sausage of your choice

• 1 tbsp. sunflower oil

• 16 chipolatas (try chorizo ones for a bit of chilli heat)

• 2 onions, sliced

• 2 celery sticks, sliced

• 8 garlic cloves, sliced

• 1 rosemary sprig

• 600ml chicken stock

• 2 x 400g cans butter beans, drained

• 75g butter, cubed

• Small pack parsley, leaves picked and chopped

• 2 lemons, zested

• Crusty bread, to serve

Instructions:

1. Gently heat the oil in a large pan. Fry the sausages all over until brown, then remove and set aside. Add the onion to the pan and fry for 5-10 mins until golden and soft, then add the celery, garlic and rosemary, and cook for 2 mins more. Pour over the stock and bring to the boil.
2. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 mins, then add the sausages back to the pan along with the butter beans. Simmer for 8 mins, and then stir in the butter, parsley and lemon zest. Ladle into bowls and serve to pipe hot with lots of chunky bread.
