Ingredients
- Olive oil
- 8 sausages
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 red onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 200g kale or cavolo nero, leaves stripped and chopped
- 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
- 400g tin black beans
- 400g tin chopped tomatoes
- 2 tsp dark brown sugar
- 2 limes
- Salt and black pepper
- 12g fresh coriander (ie, ½ a standard 25g bag), finely chopped
- 8 tortillas
- Soured cream, to serve
Directions
- Put a wide saute pan or large frying pan on a medium heat and drizzle in two tablespoons of olive oil. Fry the sausages for about eight minutes in total, until nicely browned all over, then transfer to a plate.
- Add the garlic, red onion, cumin seeds and a tablespoon of olive oil to the hot pan, and fry for a minute or two. Stir in the kale, then add 200ml water, cover and leave to cook down for five minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oven to 220C (200C fan).
- Stir the paprika into the kale mix, then, after a minute, add the black beans and their liquid, chopped tomatoes and sugar. Squeeze in the juice of one of the limes, then bring to a boil and season generously.
- Position the sausages on top of the vegetables and transfer the pan to the oven for 18-20 minutes, until everything is bubbling and reduced. Alternatively, simmer on the stove.
- Scatter the coriander over the top, then serve with the remaining lime cut into wedges, plus the tortillas and soured cream on the side.
