Ingredients
- 6 Heck Chicken Italia sausages, or other reduced fat sausages
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2 shallots, finely sliced
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp tomato purée
- ½ tbsp cornflour
- 300ml vegetable stock (use GF stock if required)
- 1 tbsp sundried tomato paste (from a 90g jar)
For the white bean mash
- 1 x 400g tin cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 100ml vegetable stock (use GF stock if required)
- grated zest ½ lemon
Step by step
- Preheat the grill to high and put the sausages on the grill pan to cook, turning regularly until cooked and golden, about 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan and gently cook the shallots for 5 minutes until starting to soften. Stir in the smoked paprika and tomato purée and cook for just a minute. Stir in the cornflour, then gradually add the vegetable stock and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the sundried tomato paste and cook for just a minute.
- Place the cannellini beans in a saucepan with the stock and lemon zest and a pinch of salt, bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes until the beans are softened and the liquid has reduced somewhat. Whiz until smooth in a food processor, or use a potato masher for a coarser texture.
- Serve the sausages on the mash with the gravy poured over, with some peas and greens on the side.
