'Just got in from a wet walk with the dogs' Hotpot

 

Ingredients:

 

* 4 potatoes

* 1 tbs. oil for sautéing the onions ( & garlic)

* 1 onion

* 1 clove garlic (optional)

* handful mushrooms (optional)

* 8 veggie sausages

* 1 can baked beans

* 1 can kidney beans (optional)

* 1 can tomatoes (already chopped will save time)

* 1 tbs. tomato puree (optional)

 

Directions:

 

Firstly, get the potatoes on the go for the accompanying mashed potato. If

your kids will allow, leave the skins on as more nutrients are maintained.

Likewise, the larger the pieces, the more nutrients maintained BUT the

longer they will take to cook.

 

Next. Halve the onion and then slice so that you have semi circle onion

rings. In a large frying pan, sauté them with the garlic if you are using

until translucent.

 

Add the sausages either to the frying or if you are being more health

conscious - under the grill - until they are nicely browned round the

outside. This is necessary to stop them absorbing the liquid later and

becoming soggy.

 

Add the can(s) of beans, tomatoes and tomato puree (if using) to the pan

and hold at a fast simmer for as long as your tummy will allow! The longer

it simmers, the thicker the 'sauce' becomes. You can speed this process up

by adding a little arrowroot or cornstarch. (remember to mix it up in a

little cold water first then add to the hot liquid to prevent it from

forming lumps.)

 

Serves: 4 ish
