Fabulous, hearty and filling fare! I had to make two subs, I used smoked garlic sausages instead of chipolatas, and I had no Barlotti beans when I checked my pantry - BUT I did have butter beans, so I used them insetad - hope that was okay Mischka?!! It was delicious and just what we needed for this chilly Autumn day. We both loved the addition of the Guinness, it gave the hotpot a hoppy taste which went well with some crusty bread we had with this. My hotpot was nearer a thick soup than a stew - but still very good! Thanks. FT:-)
