total timeIngredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 medium red onions, peeled and thinly sliced
1 red pepper, deseeded and thinly sliced
1 yellow pepper, deseeded and thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2x 14 oz (400 g) tins plum tomatoes
1¼ cups (300 ml) vegan stock
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
3 bay leaves
2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce
1x 14 oz (400 g) tin borlotti beans, drained
8-12 frozen vegan sausages (to provide 2 or 3 per serving – see notes)
1½ cups (100 g) sliced greens (such as kale, collard, or spring greens)
Small bunch fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions
In a large casserole dish or pan (with lid), heat the oil on medium heat and add the sliced onions. Fry for 4-5 minutes, stirring regularly, before adding the sliced peppers and cooking for a further 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Once the onions and peppers have started to soften, add the chopped garlic and fry for another 2 minutes.
Stir in the smoked paprika and then add the tinned tomatoes, breaking these up with a spoon. Once the tomatoes have broken apart, add in the vegan stock, sage, rosemary, bay leaves, tamari/soy sauce, and drained borlotti beans. Stir well, cover with a lid, and bring to a gentle simmer.
Once simmering, add the frozen vegan sausages. Stir gently so that they're slightly submerged, then cover with the lid and cook on a low heat for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, stir in the sliced greens. Cover again and cook for a further 5 minutes or until the greens are tender and the sausages are cooked through. If you want a thicker casserole, cook with the lid off until you're happy with the consistency.
Adjust the seasoning to taste, before serving with mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, or rice. Finish with chopped fresh parsley.
