Yield

Time
1 hour 15 minutes
Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion finely chopped
1 garlic clove crushed
1 large celery stick finely chopped
2 peppers (any colour), cut into chunks
pack 6 pork sausage (about 400g/14oz)
1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
½ tsp ground cumin
½ tsp chilli flakes
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
400g can cannellini beans drained
250g bag spinach (or use the same quantity as frozen)
2 tbsp fresh breadcrumbs (or frozen with herbs)
Instructions
Step 1
Put the oil in a large, heatproof casserole dish over a medium heat and add the onion, cooking for 5 mins until starting to soften. Tip in the garlic, celery and peppers, and give everything a good stir. Cook for 5 mins more.
Step 2
Turn the heat to high and add the sausages. Cook for a few mins until browned all over, then reduce the heat to medium, sprinkle in the spices and season well. Pour over the tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Cover and continue simmering gently for 40 mins, stirring every now and then.
Step 3
Heat the grill to high and uncover the casserole. Add the beans and spinach, and stir to warm through. Scatter over the breadcrumbs and grill for 2-3 mins until golden and crisp.
