Cooking Instructions
- Boil a kettle. Finely dice the shallot and celery. Finely slice the garlic. Heat a medium saucepan with 1 tsp oil on a medium heat and cook the shallot and celery for 5-7 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add the garlic and fry for another 2 mins.
- Cut the sausages into 3cm pieces, then add to the pan. Dissolve the half stock cube in a jug with 200ml boiling water.
- Finely chop half the sage (remove the stalks), then add to the pan with the sultanas and chestnuts. Drain the beans and add with the vinegar. Pour in the stock and simmer for 5 mins, until reduced by half. Add the spinach and cream; season with sea salt and black pepper. Simmer for another 8-10 minutes, until thickened to a creamy sauce.
- Heat a small frying pan on a medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tbsp oil. Add the remaining whole sage leaves to the pan and fry for 1-2 mins, until they darken and begin to crisp up.
- Serve the creamy beans topped with the crispy fried sage.
