Sausage and Chickpea Casserole image

I made this with pork and fennel sausages, triple-smoked bacon and ingredients I had in the pantry/fridge. Delicious - but if you start with tasty sausages and bacon, you can't go wrong! You could make this with any vegetables you happen to have.

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons oil
500 g pork sausage (6 sausages)
100 g bacon
2 onions
400 g canned tomatoes (tinned)
420 g canned chick-peas (tinned)
1 leek
salt
pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup parsley
250 g cauliflower
250 g broccoli

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a frying pan and brown the sausages. They don't have to be cooked through. Remove and let cool slightly.
  • Cut the bacon into strips and fry in the oil.
  • Add sliced onions and continue cooking, stirring occasionally until the onions are soft.
  • Cut the sausage into slices and put in a casserole dish.
  • Add the tomatoes, drained chickpeas and chopped leek.
  • If there is a lot of fat in the bacon you may want to drain the fat off the onions and bacon. Add them to the casserole dish.
  • Add paprika, salt, pepper and thyme and stir to combine. Dried mixed herbs or dried thyme will do.
  • Finely chop the parsley and add half of it to the dish.
  • Cover and bake in the oven at 170C/340F for 35 minutes.
  • In the last few minutes of cooking, steam some cauliflower and/or broccoli or cook in the microwave.
  • Stir the steamed vegetables into the casserole.
  • Garnish with the reserved parsley.
