Method
- In a large frying pan, heat a little oil, then fry the sausages and bacon on high until golden all over. Set aside and fry the vegetables and garlic together in the same way, very quickly. Just before they are ready, pour in the white wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to get all the flavour.
- Pour the contents of the pan into a slow cooker. Add the meat, and the remaining ingredients. Mix well and season. Cook for 8 hrs on low.
- Serve with big chunks of crusty bread.
Freezing and defrosting guidelines
Once the dish has cooled completely, transfer it to an airtight, freezer-safe container, seal and freeze for up to 1-3 months. To serve, defrost thoroughly in the fridge overnight before reheating. Loosely cover with foil and bake until dish is thoroughly heated through. Reheat until piping hot.
