Depending on the type of tamarind you use, it may need steeping in boiling water for a couple of hours and then straining to remove the pips.
Chop the onions.
Chop the garlic.
Deseed the red or yellow pepper.
Dice the potato, carrot, celery and red or yellow pepper into pieces of the same size.

Heat some oil in a pan and fry the sausages and onion until they are browned and then reserve.
When the sausages have cooled chop them into 3 or 4 pieces.
Heat some oil in a casserole.
Add the potato, carrot and celery and fry until softened, stirring to prevent sticking.
Add the garlic, red or yellow pepper and flour and stir for 2 min.
Pour in some water to cover.
Add the crushed stock cube, chopped tomatoes, tamarind, beans and black pepper and bring to a boil.
Return the onions and sausages and stir well.
Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, for 45 min, adjusting the heat, removing the cover or adding water to prevent drying out as necessary.

This will produce more than enough for one person.
