Method

STEP 1

Heat 1 tbs oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 3 mins. Add carrot and celery and cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until vegetables just soften. Transfer to a bowl.

STEP 2

Heat the remaining oil in the pan. Add the sausage and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break into lumps, for 5-7 mins or until golden brown. 

STEP 3

Return vegetables to the pan. Stir in wine or stock and thyme leaves. Simmer until the liquid reduces by half. Stir in the beans and ¼ cup (60ml) water. Reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 mins or until the beans are heated through. Season with pepper.
