Saturday Night Supper - Sausage and Bean Casserole

Only a few days ago it was Monday 1st November, and now here we are it's Saturday the 6th November and I'm thinking about a warming Saturday Night Supper. I think we will probably eat it just before Strictly Come Dancing (which I think is known as Dancing with the Stars in some countries). I enjoy watching it, but it's not Eddie's favourite programme.

Anyway, lets think about the food, 😊 this is a comforting and hearty one-pot sausage stew with chorizo, smoked paprika and plenty of vegetables.


Ingredients
Serves 4 - 6 (adjust as necessary)
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 medium sticks celery, finely chopped
1 yellow pepper, chopped
1 red pepper, chopped
3 fat garlic cloves, chopped
6 cooking chorizo sausages (about 400g)
6 pork sausages (about 400g)
1½ tsp sweet smoked paprika
½ tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp. dried thyme
125ml white wine
2 x 400g tins cherry tomatoes or chopped tomatoes
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 chicken stock cube
1 x 400g tin aduki beans, drained and rinsed
1 bunch chives (optional)

Method
1. Heat the olive oil in a large heavy-based pan. Add the onion and cook gently for 5 minutes. Add the celery and peppers and cook for a further 5 minutes.
2. Add the sausages and fry the sausages for 5 minutes, then stir in the garlic, spices and dried thyme and continue cooking for 1 – 2 minutes or until the aromas are released.
3. Pour in the wine and use a wooden spoon to remove any residue stuck to the pan. Add the tinned tomatoes, and fresh thyme and bring to a simmer. Crumble in the stock cube and stir in.
4. Cook for 40 minutes. Stir in the beans and cook for a further five minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs, season with black pepper and serve.

Recipe Notes
This recipe can be adapted to a vegetarian meal by using vegetarian sausages and vegetarian bacon in place of the chorizo.
If you are allergic to wine (or do not drink it) it can be omitted from the recipe.

Did you know - the aduki bean is a tiny, reddish-brown bean with a cream coloured seam and sweet, nutty flavour. Aduki beans are regarded as the king of beans in Japan and are prized for their health-giving properties: reputedly benefitting the liver and the kidneys.

and, our Autumn Leaves are still falling

That sure does look nice and hearty meal, perfect for an Autumn evening. I like dancing with the stars, my hubby usually gets on the computer when I am watching it :)

Love Snoopy and his futile attempt to stop the year...

That does look lovely and certainly would be very tasty.

It's so interesting that you call it aduki beans. Here in Hawaii, it's called azuki beans. It's mostly used in desserts with mochi, either as a filling or coating. I looked it up and I see it's also called adzuki beans. Wow! I can't remember having it any other way than as a dessert. I think.

Iris Flavia said...

Oh, I´m so with Snoopy!
Our sausages are so different from yours, btw.
We´ll have roulades today, hmmm. The cold weather-food-season is on, huh.

Jo said...

It looks delicious, hearty and warming now the days are much colder. We enjoy Strictly, I started off watching it years ago on my own then Mick started watching it with me and then Eleanor.

I'd like that - looks delicious.

William Kendall said...

The beans I'd object to, but everything else suits me.

Lee said...

I need something to kick-start my appetite. It's gone on holidays lately, and I've not felt like eating much. Thank goodness for fresh fruit, raw nuts and yoghurt...they've been my stand-bys. (The cake in your previous post does look very tempting!!! :)

Take care...

Look delicious! Similar to our chili but with a few fancy ingredients. Must try this! Thanks a bunch! Diane

I am never one to turn down beans! My father grew up eating a lot of beans as a child of
the depression, and so he passed on his love for them to all of us as children. This looks like a hearty recipe with nice added spices.

This looks so very good and one dish that would truly warm the heart as well as the tummy. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Hugs and blessings, Cindy

Eddie, a man after my own heart. Those dancing programmes don't get watched in our house. Even Sue doesn't like them. I'm going to try this recipe but perhaps substitute the white wine with red. Otherwise, thumbs up.

Debbie said...
