Ingredients
Any speciality pork sausages will work well in this recipe, including pork and apple or Lincolnshire. I used chorizo-style sausages that I bought from a local market. To freezeLeave the casserole to cool, then pack it into a suitable container and freeze. Use within 1 month. Allow it to defrost before reheating.

- 6 herby/garlic chorizo-style sausages
- 6 chunky pieces pork belly, approximately 1kg (2¼lb)
- 200g (7oz) smoked streaky bacon, chopped

Method
- Set the oven to gas mark 4 or 180°C.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the sausages. Cook them over a medium heat for about 5-7 mins, turning them regularly until they have browned. Transfer the sausages to a casserole dish.
- In a frying pan, cook the pork belly for about 5-7 mins, turning it occasionally until it's browned on all surfaces and then add it to the casserole dish.
- Add the bacon, onion and celery to the frying pan and cook for about 5 mins, turning mixture occasionally until the bacon starts to brown and the onion and celery have softened. Sprinkle the paprika over and cook for a further minute, then transfer mixture to the casserole dish.
- Add the tomatoes, beans and stock to dish and season. Stir the contents of casserole gently to mix them, then cover the dish.
- Place the casserole dish in the centre of the oven and cook for 1½-2 hrs, or until the pork is tender. Remove from the oven and serve immediately, with mashed potato to soak up all the juices, if you like.
