There are so many different types and flavours of sausages aren't there. I quite often get mine from a local farm shop (yum) but our local supermarket does have a very good variety too, and I always look for the ones that are 90% plus meat...
I often serve sausages with some buttery mashed swede, it keeps the carb count down, but how about this alternative to the traditional 'bangers and mash'. Using mashed butter beans as a delicious alternative to mashed potatoes, flavoured here with leeks and tomato, and paired with Cumberland sausages. The original recipe shows carbs per serving as 28.4g so there may be some readers who find it will not fit into their LCHF menu plans - as always dear reader the choice is yours.
If you would like to give this dish a try please read on for the ingredients and method.
Ingredients
Serves Four
8 large sausages of your choice ...e.g. Cumberland
150ml (1/4pt) vegetable stock
2 x 400g tins butter beans, drained
1 tbsp. olive oil
500g (16oz) leeks, trimmed and sliced
1 tbsp. sun-dried tomato paste
3 tbsp. fresh thyme, finely chopped
salt and pepper
Method
1. Preheat the grill to medium-high. Cook the sausages for 15 minutes, turning frequently, until golden all over and cooked through.
2. Meanwhile, put the stock and butter beans in a pan cook, uncovered, over a low heat for 10 minutes until the butter beans begin to soften. Season well, then roughly mash with a fork.
3. In a separate pan, heat the oil in over a medium heat. Add the leeks and cook for 10 minutes until softened.
4. Add the leeks to the mashed beans and mix well, add the sundried tomato paste and half of the thyme. Stir well to combine, then divide between 4 plates along with the sausages. Scatter over the remaining thyme to serve.

My favourite meal!!
I love sausages, but my kidney doctor says no more. I still cheat once in awhile though.
❤️
This looks good too. Your two most recent posts are making me hungry tonight.
...we had sausage tonight.
I've never heard of mashing butter beans. This looks really good! I love sundried tomatoes but have never seen it in a paste. I bet it adds a punch of flavor. I'm going to have to look for that.
Thanks for another yummy recipe!
I would never think of that combination myself - but it goes - and sounds good.
Not something I eat, but it does look very moreish.
Looks delicious
Looks good Jan.
I like sausages, but hubby is not a fan, so I rarely make them. Will have to try this recipe though :) Thanks Jan
i can almost taste the The butter bean mash with leeks.
What a good dish! In my country it's so popular in winter. Great to hear it contains only 9.4 grams of fat (both saturated and unsaturated).
Looks tasty, a great meal.
Take care, have a great day!
You've made me want to eat such sausages. This dish looks very delicious.
Greetings.
I never would have thought of mashing beans. Looks good!
Sounds interesting.
Jan, How nice! Although you have to be careful about the amount of fat that sausages have depending on their variety. Best regards
Sausage yes, mash I am not sure about. Have a nice day today.
Gracias por l receta. Me diste hambre. te mando un beso.
Yum! Again!
I had a craving for leeks. We like sausages, too. This might do us!
It looks good. I have never tried leaks.
Boa tarde de quarta-feira. Nunca provei ou comi. Mais parece muito DELICIOSO.

The mash looks delicious, I'll have to try that!xxx
This sounds good, I hadn't thought of mashing butter beans (hubby's favourite) will give this a try. Thanks
