'In a world where we’re increasingly feeling guilty about eating meat, beans are the exciting choice,’ says Bold Bean Co founder Amelia Christie-Miller and author of Full of Beans: Delicious Beany Recipes to Obsess Over. ‘High in protein, fibre and a host of minerals and vitamins, they’re one of the most diverse food groups.’

A dish is only as good as its ingredients, which is particularly true for this two-hero ingredient, one-pot dish. The sausages can be squeezed out of their skins and cut into meatball-sized pieces if you want a different texture.
