This rich and hearty sausage crumble will fast become a family favourite.
Meaty sausages, beautiful cannellini beans and lashings of rich sauce finished with a crunchy herb crumble. There really isn't much to not like about this sausage crumble recipe, which makes for a lovely winter warmer meal. The crumble element is a great alternative to pastry (if you've overdone it on the pies) and adds a delicious texture to the tasty meaty filling. Scatter it onto your cooked mixture and cook till golden in the oven. Then serve simply with buttery green vegetables.
