We keep being told we're going to have a heatwave here in the UK, but it has to be said I'm thinking they are perhaps talking about next year!
So with summer sadly not too on the summery side at the moment, how about trying my meat-free sausage and white bean casserole?

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of Quorn sausages but their 'Chef's selection is far nicer than the regular ones and make a meat-free meal in next to no time.

We've not had much of a summer up here either, although last weekend was glorious. I think I am ready now for our winter again now that we had a weekend of summer. This recipe sounds like proper comfort food - yummy!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried the wild garlic and parsley Quorn sausages? They are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love the smoked paprika in this, Jan. Anything with a little dash of this delicious red powder gets my attention.
