Serve in lovely bowls with a handful of rocket and crusty bread for the sauce.

Method

  1. 01

    Heat the oven to 220°C. Put the sausages in a roasting tin lined with non-stick baking parchment rated for this temperature, and cook for 25 minutes, or until cooked through. For pork or beef sausages, check the centre reaches 71°C; poultry sausages should reach 74°C.

  2. 02

    Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large pan, add the onion and fry for 5 minutes to soften.

  3. 03

    Add the tomato ketchup, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, runny honey and 150 ml water. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes.

  4. 04

    Put the bacon on a baking tray lined with suitable baking parchment and cook in the oven for 10 minutes until crispy, keeping an eye on it.

  5. 05

    Add the drained haricot beans to the tomato mixture and warm through.

  6. 06

    Serve the beans in bowls, topped with the cooked sausages, crispy bacon and a handful of rocket leaves, with crusty bread alongside if you like.
