Ingredients
- 16 good-quality chipolata sausages
- olive oil
- 12 rashers pancetta or streaky bacon
- 600g good-quality cooked white beans, such as haricot, butter bean or cannellini, drained and rinsed
- 500ml base tomato sauce
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 220˚C/fan 200˚C/gas 7. Put the chipolata sausages into a roasting tin with a little splash of olive oil. Cook in the oven for about 30 minutes, tossing occasionally, until well browned and cooked.
- Meanwhile, roughly chop 4 of the pancetta rashers. Heat a saucepan and add a small splash of olive oil. Gently fry the chopped pancetta until lightly brown, then add the beans and the tomato sauce. Simmer gently for 20 minutes and season to taste.
-
Grill the remaining pancetta until crisp. Divide the beans between 4 plates and top each with 4 chipolatas and 2 rashers of crisp pancetta.
