Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200C fan.

Step 2

Heat the oil in a large, shallow flameproof casserole over a medium heat and sauté the onion for 5 minutes. Add the garlic, greens and some seasoning, and toss with the onions for a further 2 to 3 minutes, to gently cook the greens.

Step 3

Add the spices and thyme cook for a minute before adding the vinegar, tomato purée, tamari or soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, tomatoes and beans. Stir through the ingredients and bring to a simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, adding a splash of water (about 50ml) to loosen the mixture.

Step 4

Lay the sausages on top, drizzle over a little more oil and season. Roast in the oven for 25 minutes, giving everything a quick stir halfway through the cooking time, until the tomatoes begin to brown at the edges and the sausages are golden and cooked in the sauce.

Step 5

Scatter over the parsley to serve.
