Method

step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas mark 6. Heat a splash of olive oil in a large ovenproof casserole dish over a medium heat and fry the sausage pieces (6) for 1-2 minutes on each side, until coloured. Remove from the pan and set aside.
step 2
In the same pan, add another splash of olive oil. Fry the onion (1), carrot (2), celery (2 sticks), oregano (1 tsp) and thyme (4 sprigs) along with a pinch of salt over a medium heat for 6-8 minutes, until soft. Add the garlic (3 cloves) and cook for a further 4 minutes, then tip back in the sausages.
step 3
Add the wine (100 ml), if using, and reduce until almost evaporated. Tip in the tinned tomatoes (1 tin) and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the stock (500 ml) and the beans (1 tin), bring to a simmer, then loosely cover with foil and put into the oven for 25-30 minutes.
step 4
Remove from the oven, stir through the cavolo nero (100 g) and top with the torn focaccia (150 g). Drizzle with a little more olive oil, then return to the oven for another 6-8 minutes, until the bread is crisp and golden. Shave over the parmesan (40 g), then divide between serving dishes. Serve each with a handful of crisp green salad, if you like.
