Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan and cook the sausages for 8-10 minutes, or until browned and cooked. Remove the sausages and set aside, covered.
  2. Add more oil to the pan, if necessary, and fry the onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is soft. Add the carrot and thyme and fry for 2 minutes. Turn up the heat, pour in the wine and simmer rapidly for 1-2 minutes, or until almost fully reduced.
  3. Add the bay leaf, chopped tomatoes, beans, chicken stock and 300ml water to the pan and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the carrot is tender.
  4. Cut each of the cooked sausages into 4 pieces and stir into the cassoulet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sausages are piping hot. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
