Method
- Heat a casserole dish over medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic with a drizzle of olive oil until soft for 3 minutes or so. Add cayenne pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, then chickpeas and tomatoes. Mix well. Add sugar and soy sauce, place bay leaves on top. Reduce the heat to low, cover the casserole with a lid and let it cook for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the vege sausages in a frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil, on a barbeque or in the oven. Set aside.
- Mix the butter beans in the casserole, arrange the cooked veggie sausages in the pan and continue to cook for a further 5 minutes or so until everything is heated through.
- Make the Avocado Smash. Place the flesh of one ripe avocado in a bowl. Add the lime juice, coriander, salt and pepper. Mash with a fork.
- Top the avocado smash on the bean & sausage, garnish with thyme. Serve with some lime wedges.
