Instructions:
-
Slice the Bacon: Begin by slicing the streaky bacon into chunky pieces.
-
Cook the Bacon: Heat a splash of olive oil in a heavy-bottomed, medium-sized pan over medium heat. Add the bacon to the pan, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to break up the pieces.
-
Crisp the Bacon: Gradually increase the heat, allowing the bacon to cook until it turns crisp and releases all its flavorful fat.
-
Add Aromatics: Stir in the finely chopped red onions, minced garlic, sage leaves, and bay leaf into the bacon. Season lightly with salt and generously with pepper. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
-
Prepare the Carrots: Peel the carrots and slice them into hearty chunks. Stir them into the onion mixture and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the carrots begin to soften.
-
Prepare the Sausages: Cut the pork sausages into 4 or 5 pieces, depending on your preference.
-
Brown the Sausages: Increase the heat and add the sausage pieces to the pan. Brown them thoroughly on all sides until they develop a rich caramelized color.
-
Deglaze with Beer: Once the sausages are browned, pour in the beer, stirring well to deglaze the bottom of the pan and incorporate all the flavorful bits.
-
Add Butter Beans: Tip the butter beans into a sieve or colander, rinse them under cold running water, then shake them dry. Add them to the pan with the sausage mixture.
-
Simmer: Bring the liquid to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Partially cover the pan and let the stew simmer gently for about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and the sausages to cook through.
-
Adjust Seasoning: Taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.
-
Serve: Your Sausage and Butter-Bean Stew is now ready to serve! Ladle it into bowls and enjoy it piping hot, or let it cool slightly and store it overnight for even more robust flavors.
Notes:
- This stew is even more delicious when served with crusty bread or over a bed of creamy mashed potatoes.
