Ingredients

  • 2 tsp Sunflower oil Olive oil is fine too
  • 454 g Sausages Usually 6 or 8 sausages
  • 1 Large Red onion Peeled and chopped. See notes
  • 3 Cloves Garlic Peeled and crushed. See notes
  • 800 g Tinned chopped tomatoes x2 tins
  • 400 g Tinned cannellini beans Drained and rinsed
  • 2 tbsp Tomato puree
  • 2 tsp Cumin
  • 2 tsp Sweet smoked paprika See notes
  • 1 Beef stock cube
  • 300 g Carrots Peeled and chopped
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper To taste

Instructions

  • Pan fry the sausages until browned all over. (If your slow cooker pan is the type that can be used on the hob too, you can do this in the pan.)
  • Add all of the other ingredients into the slow cooker, give it a good stir and put on the lid.
  • Cook on HIGH for 6 hours or LOW for 8 hours.
  • Stir everything well and serve. (I like to cut up the sausages using scissors before serving.)

Notes

Onions and garlic: I use pre prepared frozen, chopped here. An onion weighs about 150g, so replace with that pre chopped weight. Garlic is about 5g per clove so I use 15g (3 teaspoons).
Sweet smoked paprika: Be sure to use SWEET Smoked, not HOT. The outcome will be very different if you mix them up!
If you want to add chorizo: Simply add about 100g to the pan at the same time as you’re frying off your sausages.
