I’ve not posted a recipe for quite a while, so here’s a quick, sure-fire, easy winner from our kitchen. It’s based on a Mary Berry recipe.
Mary Berry’s Sausage Supper
For each person you will need:
Good sausages (at least 3 per person)
3 small salad potatoes, cut into ping-pong ball sized pieces
A selection of vegetables; choose from:
– a small red onion (quartered)
– 2 medium (quartered) or 6 cherry tomatoes
– ½-1 bell pepper (cut into 8)
– ½-1 bulb of fennel (quartered)
– a few mushrooms (halved if large)
– a few slices of aubergine (cut in 1-1.5cm slices)
Several cloves of garlic (roughly chopped)
Bunch fresh herbs; thyme is good (roughly chopped)
This is what you do:
- Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.
- Place all the ingredients in a large bowl with 2 tbsp olive oil and turn until they’re fully coated in oil. [Or you could use a large, resealable freezer bag.]
- Tip into a large roasting tin and spread out into an even layer. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Roast in the oven for 30–35 minutes.
- Turn the sausages and vegetables.
[At this point Mary Berry adds a glass of white wine, but I think this ends up too wet.] - Replace in the oven and roast for a further 20 minutes or so, until the sausages and potatoes are cooked through.
- Serve hot, with mustard if liked, and a beer or glass of red wine.
I challenge you to have leftovers!
