I do love a recipe that it is super tasty but doesn't destroy the kitchen, and this one is right up there with my favourites! One-pot, bung it in the oven and ta dah!
I took this recipe from a BBC recipe book years ago, swapped the chicken for sausages (I think that was all we had at the time!), added a sauce and a few different spices and came up with what is now one of our staple dinners. It can easily be modified to suit you if needed- it works really well with sweet potato, but I just prefer white and the pork sausages could be substituted with quorn, veggie or beef varieties (although the beef might overpower the sauce a bit- just a thought).
Hope you enjoy!
Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking: 30 minutes
Ingredients (serves 4)
8 pork sausages
1 large onion
2 peppers (any colour)
2-3 potatoes per person (judgement call)
400g chopped tomatoes
Olive oil
Chilli, paprika, thyme to personal taste
Method
1. Cut potatoes into chunks- doesn't matter what size, but try to keep them fairly even so they cook at the same rate. Do the same with the onion and peppers. Transfer these to a large casserole dish.
2. Pierce sausages to avoid them exploding (yes I have had this happen before) and arrange in dish.
3. Drizzle over olive oil and get your hands in there to make sure everything has a coating. Be careful not to add to much oil as the sausages will also release some- I'd say use roughly two tablespoons.
4. Sprinkle over thyme (or oregano or mixed herbs) chilli powder and/or paprika to own personal spice-liking.
5. Bake at 200 degrees centigrade/ gas mark 6 for thirty minutes, checking it half-way to give it a mix.
6. Stir in chopped tomatoes and add extra spices/ salt and pepper.
Eat it!
PS. I only remembered about the 'after' picture when we were halfway through eating dinner....fail! In the interests of a 'balanced diet' I didn't want to do another cake recipe this week so I promise to add in the picture the next time I make this. For the moment though, you'll just have to imagine the picture above cooked and with a tomato sauce added ;)
PPS. For the record, it was delicious ;)
