Pork sausage, white beans and tomato roast

This is one of my favourite dinners. Pork fat is just so damn tasty. And I love tubed meat (hot dogs, sausages… yup, all of it). And then roasted beans and tomatoes, also delicious. It’s really just so good.

Tonight’s takes:

Husband: “I would have appreciated a bit more Maillard reaction 😉 It’s delicious.”

Helen: “It’s rich. I still really like it. I think it’s good. Rich and good. I love it.”

Hector: “Pretty good. Did you check the temperature of the beans? You forgot to check the temperature. The tomatoes are a little bit spongy. But they are really good. [SLURP SLURP SLURPPPPPPP]”

What I used:

• 4 sausages

• 1 can cannellini beans

• 10 small tomatoes

• 1 large bag of spinach

• lots of olive oil

• salt

What I did:

Turned oven onto 375°F. Got ingredients out: sausage, beans, tomatoes.

Put a lot of oil in roasting dish.

Added sausage, beans, tomatoes. Rolled them around in the oil. Added a few big pinches of salt. Put in oven for 25 minutes.

Wilted spinach in a fry pan on medium heat. Added olive oil and salt to spinach.

It wouldn’t all fit, so as it wilted I continued to add more leaves.

After 25 minutes, pulled sausage, beans and tomatoes out of the oven. Checked sausage internal temperate to make sure they were done (160°F).

Added spinach to the pan.

Done!

Served with feta and bread.

Next time:

MAKE IT EXACTLY LIKE THIS. I’d buy these sausages again - they were really rich and delicious. I could really taste the leeks. And I’d use cherry tomatoes if I had those instead of the vine ripened ones.

😋😋😋
