Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 red, yellow and orange pepper, sliced
- 2 tbsp Biona harissa paste
- 1 can of Biona tomatoes
- 2 cans of beans of choice, drained and rinsed*
- 1 tbsp cornstarch or tapioca flour + 3 tbsp water (optional)**
- 300ml vegetable stock
- 2 packs of Thanks Plants Sundried Tomato & Herb Sausages
- Parsley to serve (optional)
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Method
1. Add the oil to a large pan over a medium heat.
2. Add the garlic and sliced peppers to the pan and cook for about 10 minutes; until soft and lightly charred.
3. Add the harissa paste, tomatoes, beans and stock.
4. Bring to the boil and then simmer uncovered to reduce down for 15 – 20 minutes. Season to taste.
5. Meanwhile add the sausages to a pan with a little oil and cook for about 8 – 10 minutes until browned all around. You can also grill these or through them into the air fryer. Make sure to give them a good drizzle of olive oil as they can dry up a little bit (as per the packaging suggestion, they are at their best when fried in a pan).
6. Add the cooked sausages to the pan for a few minutes before serving.
7. Serve as is,with some crusty bread, a green salad, quinoa or rice.
*We used Biona butter beans and haricot beans
**This is to thicken the sauce. It is completely optional but stops that water and tomato separation that you can get with tomato based sauces!
