NEW TIP
Comfort food at its best!
I made ours in the oven and cooked for 3 hours. This made a huge portion, we easily had enough for another family meal. I froze in portion sized containers for a quick and easy lunch.
NEW TIP
Great family friendly, time-saving dish.
Instead of the slow cooker I used the fan oven, 160c for around 90 mins in cast-iron casserole pot, then added the stockpot and butter beans for a further 20 minutes to warm through.
2
Just right for a cold day. Super filling and easy to make
I changed the recipe to make 3 portions so 1.5 each, I used plant based sausages as I’m having a vegetarian week with p.o.n. It was 632 calories but you felt stuffed. Pinch of nom recipes are so easy t follow

Can I use vegan sausages? Which brand works well? X

Reply

    LisaSaturday 29th August 2020

    Hi Julie,
    We have tried this recipe with vegan Quorn sausages, and that worked really well, but I’m not sure how readily available they are now. You would be best to use a vegan sausage that is firm in texture so it will hold up to the long cooking time. Hope this helps.

Can you use frozen sausages or do they need to be de frosted

    Hi Joanne, you can use frozen sausages but we suggest defrosting them before using them in this recipe. Hope that helps!

Can I use vegetarian sausages or will they disintegrate?

Reply

    LisaWednesday 6th May 2020

    That would probably depend on the type of veggie sausage you use. Go for a firmer type, like Quorn and they should be fine!

beef stock pot is different to beef stock cube.

Reply

    Sharon FitzpatrickFriday 8th May 2020

    Hi ALG, yes, a beef stock pot is different to a beef stock cube. This recipe needs 1 chicken stock cube and 1 beef stock pot. Stock pots come in gel form and are gluten free. They can be dissolved in boiling water or just added directly and would melt into the dish.
