Mary Berry Roasted Sausage and Potato Supper

 So tried out this recipe tonight: with a few minor tweaks to it to make it slimming world friendly. I used fry light instead of olive oil and I used 1 1/2 peppers and a little butternut cut up and diced.

I par cooked the new potatoes and butternut for about 10 minutes as I am always paranoid that I am going to end up with under baked veggies, the trick I think as Mary Berry says is to lie all the vegetables flat with no over lap. I also decided to use chicken stock instead of wine as someone suggested. I must say it was delicious so easy to make too. I liked the adding of stock/wine at the end because it stopped everything from being too dry and frazzled which admittedly some of my traybakes have been in the past. I also used Marks and Spencer skinny sausages which are worth it too as they are only half a syn per sausage. Was really happy with this: potatoes were nice and crisp but soft too. That said I will stop talking hope you enjoy her recipe!

Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 large onions, sliced lengthways into wedges
• 2 red peppers, deseeded and cut into large dice
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 tbsp chopped thyme leaves
• 500g (1lb 2oz) baby new potatoes, unpeeled and halved
• 12 sausages, pricked with a fork
• 200ml (7fl oz) white wine
• salt and freshly ground black pepper
 

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7.

2. Place all the ingredients except the wine in a large, resealable freezer bag. Seal the bag shut and shake well to coat everything in the oil. Alternatively, put everything in a large bowl and turn the ingredients until they are fully coated in the oil. Tip into a large roasting tin, spreading the ingredients out into one even layer and ensuring that the sausages aren’t covered by any of the vegetables. Season well with salt and pepper.

3. Roast for 30-35 minutes until golden, then remove from the oven, turn the sausages over and toss the vegetables in the cooking juices. Pour in the wine and return to the oven for a further 20 minutes or until browned and the sausages are cooked and the potatoes tender. Serve hot with a dollop of mustard on the side.
