You can whip this up in less than half an hour, often with things in your pantry. You can use fresh beans or opt to use canned or bottled (which I did, purely for convenience).
INGREDIENTS
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
3-5 tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 sausage, sliced
2 cans of red beans
1 cup red wine
3 cups water
PROCEDURE
1. Saute the onions until translucent. Add garlic, tomatoes, and sausage and saute for a few minutes.
2. Add the tomato paste and mix everything for a minute or two. Then deglaze with red wine.
3. Add water and simmer for about 15 minutes. Add cooked beans at the last minute and serve piping hot.
