Ingredients:
• 1 x tin butter beans (400 g)
• Palm of fresh basil, ripped (about 10 leaves)
• 1 x vegetable stock cube (chicken is also fine)
• 400 g cooked potatoes (use leftover potatoes if you have or just boil up a few)
• 200 g cherry tomatoes
• ⅓ teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
• 150 g green beans, chopped
• 6 – 8 pork/beef sausages, cooked and sliced
• Salt and pepper
• Oil for frying
• Eggs (however many you like per person)
Method:
- Drain the liquid off the butter beans and place in a bowl. Give them a light crush with a fork, you are after a broken bean not a mash.
- Add most of the basil leaves by ripping them up fairly small and dropping them into the bowl. Now take the stock cube and crumble it into the bowl.
- If you are using the chili flakes, add them now and then add the potatoes, green beans cherry tomatoes. (Your potatoes should also be quite rustic looking, cut into bite size bits or baby potatoes that have been crushed)
- Now add the sliced sausages and give them all a good mix to combine all of the flavours. Taste and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat some oil in a large non stick frying pan and cook on a medium heat for 8 – 10 minutes giving it a mix occasionally until you get a nice little crust forming.
- Give each person a generous portion and top with one or two eggs and a few bits of ripped basil.
- A really nice variation is to use left over pumpkin or butternut to the mixture.
- This is a fantastic breakfast or a hearty home style meal that you can serve with a little salad on the side.
