What she’d tell you
A tin of beans, a few sausages and a dark evening. This is the meal I make when I have not planned anything at all, and nobody has ever guessed that.

How it goes
Brown the sausages whole in the olive oil over medium-high heat, about 8 minutes, turning until coloured all over. Lift them out and cut each into three.
Soften the diced onion in the same pan for 5 minutes, then add the garlic and paprika for 1 minute.
Add the tomatoes, the drained beans and the salt. Return the sausage pieces.
Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, pressing a few beans against the side of the pan to thicken it.
Stir the spinach through until it wilts, taste for salt, and serve with bread.
If you haven’t got it
Cannellini Beans
butter beans, or chickpeas at a push
Sausages
chorizo, but then use half as much and no extra paprika
Keeping it
Four days in the fridge.
A pan over medium heat. Freezes for three months.
