Method

Carefully squeeze the meat out of the sausage skins, then form into 12 meatballs. Heat half the oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the meatballs until golden all over, then remove from the pan and set aside.
Heat the remaining oil and fry the onion for 10 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes more. Add the chopped tomatoes and white beans, then return the meatballs to the pan.
Simmer gently for 15-20 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the meatballs are cooked (add a splash of water if you think it’s getting too thick). Scatter with the parsley, then serve with steamed rice.
