  3. Warm some oil in a heavy cooking pot and bake the sausages brown. Take them out and cut them into pieces ( they are easier to cut when baked on the outside then when raw)

  4. In the same pot, bake the onion, add the garlic, capsicum for 5 to 8 minutes. Add the tomato paste and paprika and bake some more. The tomato paste will have to smell sweet; then add the tomato cubes and the beans. Season generously with pepper and salt and add the oregano.

  5. Cook everything in the tomato sauce until the beans and capsicum are soft. Add the black olives and serve with some small dashes of cranberry sauce on it and with some garlic bread on the side.( a fast garlic bread you make by toasting some bread with olive oil, pepper and salt and when crunchy you rub a halved garlic clove over the bread)
