Sausage and Black Eyed Bean Stew

This Sausage and Black Eyed Bean Stew is just right for a quick but tasty and warming supper - particularly in the winter months. Black eyed beans (also called black-eye peas) are really healthy - lots of fibre, iron and potassium - and they're fun to look at, so kids love them. Served with mashed potatoes it's the perfect comfort food!
