Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 good-quality pork sausages
  • 2 shallots
  • 1 tsp roughly chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 garlic
  • 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
  • 125ml/4¼fl oz chicken stock
  • 1 x 400g tin flageolet beans
  • 1 tbsp roughly chopped fresh flatleaf parsley
  • 4-6 thick slices sourdough bread
  • and freshly ground saltblack pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.
  • Heat a tablespoon of the oil in an ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat. Add the sausages and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until browned on all sides. Transfer the pan to the oven and continue to cook for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, heat another tablespoon of the oil in a separate frying pan over a medium heat. Add the shallots and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Add the rosemary and garlic and fry for a further 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the chopped tomatoes and bring the mixture to the boil, then reduce the heat until the mixture is simmering. Add the stock and beans, return the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • Stir in the parsley and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Keep warm.
  • Just before serving, heat a griddle pan over a medium heat. Drizzle a little of the remaining tablespoon of oil onto each side of the bread slices. Grill the bread for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden-brown chargrill marks appear on both sides.
  • To serve, place one slice of toast onto each serving plate. Spoon over the bean mixture and top each with a sausage or two.
