Chillied Bratwurst Sausage Casoulet, with Leek and Tomato

A simple casoulet, made with two chopped bratwurst sausages (made with chilli and one of the options available from Aldi), potato chunks, shredded tomato (3), and a large leek. The green beans were added last (about 100g), since they take very little time to cook.

I browned the bratwurst pieces first in some sunflower oil in a sautee pan. While that was going on, I cut the leek into four lengthwise, and then chopped it into smallish pieces. Added to the pan with the shredded tomato. I prepared the potato, and then added half a pint of boiling water to the pan along with the potato pieces. Cooked at a low heat under glass for about an hour.

After that, I added some vegetable stock, and some Quixo onion gravy granules (a dessert spoonful), which was also bought in Aldi. As well as imparting flavour to the dish, it also functions as a thickener. Thoroughly stirred the mix together before leaving it to simmer under glass for another fifteen minutes.

Finally the diced and washed green beans were added to the pan, and allowed to cook at a low heat for between five and ten minutes. Delicious! Almost as good as bratwurst cooked with onions and peppers!
