We've put together a selection of good value, easy to cook recipes for you, that feed four people. Use the video to cook along, or you can follow the steps below.

Ingredients:
- 1 onion
- 1 tin of chopped or plum tomatoes
- Tin of mixed beans
- 8 vegan, vegetarian or meat sausages
- Seasoning: tomato puree, sugar, vinegar, paprika and garlic
- Optional: stock cube
- You can add more vegetables such as peppers, courgettes, aubergines and carrots to your liking.
Method:
- Make sure your areas are clean and tidy and wash your hands before you start
- Peel and finely slice the onion. Remember to leave the core on the onion to minimise the affect of your eyes watering
- Finely chop or grate two cloves of garlic
- Vegetable or sunflower can be used
- Add a few table spoons of vegetable or sunflower oil to a pan
- Add crushed garlic, then onion, then sausages. Add any finely chopped vegetables at this point if you want to
- Caramelise the onion and brown the sausages for an even colour – 10 minutes should be enough
- Add the seasoning of your choice: salt, pepper, chilli, paprika, any spices of your choice
- Add a couple of tablespoons of tomato puree, which will thicken the sauce and intensify the flavour
- Add the mixed beans
- Add tinned tomatoes and allow to reduce. Plum tomatoes are usually cheaper than pre chopped, and you can always break them down with your cooking utensil
- Add two tablespoons of vinegar
- Crumble in a stock cube of your choice (vegetable or chicken) depending on your choice of sausage
- For an extra sticky finish you can add a spoon of sugar, syrup or honey
- Serve with mashed potato, a side of vegetables or in a jacket potato.
