Prep time: 9 min
Cook time: 55 min

Yield: 4 people
Cuisine: French
Ingredients: 500 g white beans; 400 g peeled and chopped tomatoes; 1 bayleaf; 500 ml vegetable stock; 400 g sausage; Salt; Pepper

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!

Bake at 360°F (180°C) for 45 minutes, covered for the first 25 minutes, then uncovered for the rest.

Check during cooking that the beans are not drying out too much, and add a little more stock if necesssary.

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.
