When the water boils, add the sausages. Some people like to add bacon as well. In this way you will further enhance the flavour. Add pepper, bay leaf, but be careful with adding salt as sausages can be very salty. Cook for at least 1 hour depending how much it takes to get the beans completely softened. |
