1. Chop any squid tentacles. Skin the sausages then mix with the tentacles and divide the mixture between the squid tubes. Seal the ends with a cocktail stick.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan (you will also need a lid), then brown the squid all over. Set aside. In the same pan, cook the onion for 5 minutes, add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, then add the white wine and bubble for a few minutes. Add all the tomatoes, 150ml water and some seasoning. Bring to the boil, then return the squid to the same pan and leave to simmer, covered, for 1 hour.
3. Drain and rinse the butter beans. Take the squid out of the pan and gently stir in the beans and the parsley. Heat through and serve with the sliced squid.
