Servings: 4

Ingredients

Olive oil
4 Toulouse sausage or good quality spicy, garlicky sausage
300g canned haricot beans, drained
a handful of finely chopped parsley

1 can chopped tomatoes
1 onion, stuck with 2 cloves

Method

1. Heat the olive oil in a heavy casserole dish. Add in the Toulouse sausage and fry until browned on all sides.

3. Cover the casserole dish and cook very slowly over a very low heat for 2 hours on top of the stove. Alternately, bake for 2 hours in an oven at 180°C/gas 4.
4. Add in the bacon and garlic and cook gently for a further 1 and a half hours.
