Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

200g good-quality pork sausages, chopped into bite-sized chunks

4 leeks, thinly sliced

Salt and black pepper

3 garlic cloves, sliced

100ml white wine

500ml chicken or vegetable stock

2 x 400g tins of cannellini or butter beans, rinsed and drained

100g breadcrumbs

50g mature Cheddar, grated

To serve:

Green salad

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6.

2 Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Cook the sausage pieces for 3-4 minutes until golden, then use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate, reserving the fat in the pan.

3 Add the leeks and cook over a medium-low heat for 6-8 minutes until softened. Season with salt and black pepper, add the garlic and cook for one minute.

4 Stir in the wine, stock and beans. Season with salt and black pepper and allow to bubble gently for 5-6 minutes. Stir in the sausage pieces and warm through.

5 In a bowl, stir the breadcrumbs together with the Cheddar.

6 Transfer the leek mixture into a baking dish and top with the cheesy breadcrumbs. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden, then serve with a green salad.
