Smokey BBQ Beans

1. Add a good drizzle of rapeseed oil to the pan and fry off the chipolatas until well browned.
2. Remove the chipolatas from the pan and set aside. Repeat the process with the bacon, until it is well browned and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside with the sausages.
3. Add a touch more oil to the pan if necessary, then add the sage, rosemary and thyme. Cook for a second or two, before adding the onions.
4. Allow the onions to soften, then add the minced garlic. Cook for another minute or two.
5. Add your BBQ seasoning and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring regularly. Add a splash each of cider vinegar, soy and Worcestershire sauce.
6. Add the drained beans, passata and honey and stir through, bring to a simmer and cover the pan with a lid.
7. Roughly chop the chipolatas and bacon, add to the pan and stir through the beans. Cook the beans gently for 10-12 minutes.
8. Serve with toasted sourdough.
