Instructions

Fry the Sausage Meat
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. 

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, wide-bottomed ovenproof pan on medium heat. TIP: If you don't have an ovenproof pan, use a normal pan and transfer to an ovenproof dish before baking.

Once hot, add the sausage meat and fry until browned, 4-5 mins. Use a spoon to break it up into equal-sized large chunks, roughly 5 per person. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat.

Prep the Ciabatta
2

Meanwhile, halve the ciabatta.

Drain and rinse the cannellini beans in a sieve.

Bake your Cassoulet
3

Once the sausage meat has browned, stir in the cannellini beans, Cajun spice mix (add less if you'd prefer things milder), creme fraiche, chicken stock paste, sugar and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts).

Transfer to the top shelf of your oven and bake until thickened and bubbling, 20-25 mins. IMPORTANT: The sausage meat is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Get Toasty
4

A few mins before everything's ready, toast the ciabatta halves in your toaster until golden.

Once toasted, drizzle with a little olive oil.

Finishing Touches
5

When your cassoulet has finished baking, remove from the oven and stir through the spinach until piping hot, 1-2 mins.

Add a splash of water if you feel it needs it.

Serve Up
6

Share the sausage and bean cassoulet between your bowls.

Serve the ciabatta alongside for dipping.

Enjoy!
