20 min Easy Prep

Feeding a family is hard enough but feeding a family when your child has multiple allergies adds a new dimension to the challenge. I find slow cooked meals some of the easiest, especially when I have work or we are out for the day. This meal is quick and easy to prepare and a massive hit with the whole family.

Ingredients:

  • 1 large red onion
  • 125g of dried beans (I use Waitrose LOVE life 10 bean mix)
  • 100g frozen sliced peppers (you can obviously use fresh but I find it more convenient to use pre-sliced straight from the freezer)
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 tin chopped tomatoes
  • Sausages (I use Heck Naked Pork Sausages which are gluten free and skinless which I think work better in this recipe as the sausages absorb the flavour of the other ingredients and you won’t end up with soggy sausage skin at the end)
  • 100g chorizo, diced into small pieces (I use a chorizo from Lidl which is dairy and gluten free)
  • 500ml vegetable stock (I used Knorr Vegetable Stock Pots as they are gluten and soya free)
  • 1 tsp of paprika
  • Salt and pepper to season
  • Parsley to garnish

Method:

  1. Rinse the beans and leave to soak in water overnight.
  2. Rinse the beans again and place in the slow cooker.
  3. Slice onion and add to the slow cooker along with the frozen sliced pepper, tin of chopped tomatoes, chorizo, crushed garlic and paprika.
  4. Make up the stock and add to the slow cooker. Mix the ingredients.
  5. Add the sausages to the mix (they can just lay on top).
  6. Cook on high for 3 hours or low for around 6 (though this will vary with each slow cooker).
  7. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve with pasta or spaghetti – we always use the gluten free version.

Please let me know if you give this one a go. I’d love to hear how it worked out for you and if your family enjoyed it as much as mine!
