You know those Saturdays where you want to eat something hearty, but cooking for two hours is absolutely not on the agenda? That’s exactly where sausages and beans come into play. An American classic, frankly effective.
Ingredients :
- Turkey sausages (or smoked chicken) — The heart of the dish. Get smoked sausages if you can find them—the difference is real, they bring a depth that fresh sausage won’t give. Cut them into slices about 1.5 cm thick, no thinner or they will fall apart during cooking.
- White beans in tomato sauce — What are called baked beans, pork-free. Remove the liquid floating on top of the can before pouring—too watery, it prevents the sauce from thickening properly. The rest is perfect as is.
- Butter — Just a tablespoon to get started. Butter rounds everything off and gives that little rich taste that neutral oil will never provide.
- Garlic — One clove, well crushed and minced. Burnt garlic in this recipe ruins everything—it should just perfume the hot fat, not turn black in it.
