    Place the pan back on the heat and add the peppers and onions to the pan with 4 tbsp cold water and a pinch of salt and pepper. Fry the veg for 5 mins till they are slightly softened and lightly charred on the edges. Add the garlic, chilli and potato to the pan and cook, stirring for 2 mins.

  • 5.

    Add the sausages back to the pan. Tip in the tin of chickpeas. Crumble in the stock cube and pour in 350ml hot water from the kettle. Add 1 tbsp red wine vinegar. Bring the liquid back to a bubble then pop a lid on the pan. Simmer for 10 mins till the potatoes are tender and the chicken sausages are cooked through.
