Ingredients

For the sausages and beans:

  • 6 Quorn Vegetarian Sausages, cooked and chopped into small pieces
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 3 jalapenos (or 1 green bell pepper for less heat)
  • 1.2kg canned beans of choice, drained and rinsed
  • 180ml BBQ sauce
  • 100g dark brown sugar
  • 60ml apple cider vinegar
  • 30ml dijon mustard
  • 30ml molasses

For the simple slaw:

  • 4 cups shredded red cabbage
  • 2 cups grated carrot
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Method

  1. Preheat your NINJA Woodfire to 120°C using your Woodfire pellets such as Robust or All-Purpose Blend.
  2. Cook the Quorn Sausages on a hot plate over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned. Set aside and let them cool slightly before chopping into small pieces.
  3. Add a little oil to a 12-inch cast iron skillet, then sauté the onions and jalapenos for 3-5 minutes over medium-high heat. Stir regularly, allowing the onions to become slightly translucent while the vegetables soften.
  4. Add the canned beans to the skillet, followed by the chopped Quorn Sausages, barbecue sauce, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and molasses. Stir to combine.
  5. Smoke the beans uncovered for approximately 3 hours until the beans thicken.
  6. For the slaw, mix together the wet ingredients and chopped vegetables and refrigerate until chilled and ready to serve.
