Baked Potatoes
- Wrap each potato individually in two layers of tin foil.
- Place them in the embers of your fire.
- Turn frequently.
- They will need about 30 minutes to cook through, depending on how big they are.
For the Casserole
- Chop onions and garlic.
- Chop the bell peppers and celery into coin-sized pieces.
- Open the cans of tomatoes and beans.
- Cover the bottom of a big pot about a thumb high with oil, and heat it over the fire.
- Add the garlic and onions to the oil and fry them for a minute.
- Add the canned tomatoes, beans, celery and bell peppers.
- Add the spices and ketchup (or sugar).
- Cook the casserole over low heat for about 15 minutes or until everyone’s ready to eat. If it gets too thick, add a few spoonfuls of water.
Make the Sausages and Serve
- Start heating a frying pan covered with a few table spoons of oil.
- Add the sausages to the pan, turning them constantly so they don’t burn. (You might have to fry the sausages in two batches.)
- When the sausages are golden brown and cooked thoroughly, add them to the casserole. Give the casserole a good stir.
- Taste the casserole before serving: add salt, pepper and a teaspoon of sugar if needed.
