Ingredients

600 g lean beef sausages
2 tbs olive oil
2 garlic cloves thinly sliced
2 onions medium sliced
2 eggplants diced
2 x 420 g canned diced tomatoes
1 pinch chilli flakes
1 cup chicken stock (liquid)

Method

Step 1

Pour tinned tomatoes into a slow cooker and set to low.
Step 2

In a medium saucepan, boil water and add sausages. Bring them up to a gentle boil until cooked through.
Step 3

Whilst sausages are boiling, heat oil in a frying pan and add onion, garlic and eggplant and fry until soft. Add chicken stock and simmer for about 5 minutes, then transfer to the slow cooker.
Step 4

Once the sausages have boiled, peel the skins off and chop into 1 - 2cm pieces depending on your taste.
Step 5

Add all ingredients to the slow cooker, sprinkle with chilli powder to your taste (even if kids are eating, just a little) and a little pepper and cook on low for 6 hours. You could put it on high for 3 hours also, but it's better cooked slowly.
Step 6

Serve on rice or whatever your prefer.
