Ingredients

• 3 tbsp Co-op vegetable oil
• 2 plain bagels, split and cut into bite-size pieces
• 400g of sausages, we recommend local ones from Uncle Henry's
• 1 small head of broccoli, cut into florets
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 400g can Co-op baked beans in tomato sauce
• 100g mature cheese, we recommend a tasty one from Lymn Bank Farm
• 1 avocado, diced
• 2 tomatoes, deseeded and diced
• ½ red onion, finely diced
• 1 green chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
• 2 tbsp chopped coriander, plus extra to garnish
• Juice of 1 lime, plus wedges to serve

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan 170°C/gas 5.
2. Drizzle 2 tbsp of the oil over the bagel pieces, season lightly and toss to coat. Bake on a lined tray for 15 mins, turning halfway through, until golden and crisp.
3. Meanwhile, put the remaining oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat.
4. Squeeze the sausages out of their skins and fry, stirring and breaking up with a wooden spoon for 2-3 mins.
5. Add the broccoli florets and cook for a further 2 mins, then add the paprika and cook for another minute.
6. Combine the beans with the sausage and broccoli, and transfer to a baking dish.
7. Season, then top with the bagel pieces.
8. Sprinkle with the grated cheese, then bake for 10 mins, until the cheese melts.
9. Next, make a salsa by combining the remaining ingredients, except for the lime wedges.
10. Garnish the bagel nachos with the extra coriander, then serve with the salsa and lime wedges on the side.
