Simple Roasted Sausage Dinner

This dish goes back to my basic laziness and inherent love of one pot cooking. It’s old school comfort food at it’s finest and to top it off it’s pretty quick, it’s very simple and, most of all, it’s extremely tasty.

You will need:
2 tbsp rapeseed oil
2 large onions, roughly chopped
2 red peppers, roughly chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tbsp dry thyme
500g new potatoes, scrubbed and halved where necessary
12 butchers sausages
200ml chicken stock
Pinch of salt and pepper

Method:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 200°C.
2. Add the ingredients, except the stock, salt and pepper, into a large baking tray and turn until they are fully coated in the oil and thyme.
3. Spread the ingredients out into one even layer, ensuring that the sausages aren’t covered by any of the vegetables, and season with a little salt and plenty of pepper.
4. Roast for 30 - 35 minutes until the sausages have browned, remove from the oven, turn the sausages and toss the vegetables in the cooking juices. Add in the stock and roast for a further 20 minutes or until browned.

Notes:
I tend to just serve this as it is and it nearly always comes out well, but occasionally you can be left with excess cooking juices, these can simply be drained and thickened with a little cornflour slurry to make a quick and tasty gravy.
