Sausages with baked beans, French style


Sausages with baked beans, French style
What could be more basic than sausages and beans? This is a rustic French version using dried white haricot beans (or "mogettes") that are first boiled fast, then left to cook slowly with tomatoes and smoked sausages.

The long cooking allows the smoky flavour of the sausages to gradually spread down into the beans - simply delicious!

Remarks
"Mogettes" are dried white beans from France's Vendée region. If you can't get these, you can use any other type of beans you like. It's not absolutely essential to use smoked sausages, but it's certainly better.

If you don't have vegetable stock, use chicken stock instead or even just water with a stock cube.
Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
