Sausage and potato casserole

Another one pot meal. My butcher produces a wonderful meaty sausage which already contains fennel seeds so I like to use these when they are available but today I had some pork apple and leek in the freezer so I used them.

Preparation time: 15 minutes to cook the sausage. Cooking time: 40 minutes to bake.

Ingredients

  • 450g sausages
  • 1 tsp. fennel seeds
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion halved and thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic grated
  • 750g salad potatoes, chopped into bite sized pieces
  • ½ lemon
  • 4 fresh bay leaves
  • 2 tbsp. parsley

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C
  2. Seperate the sausages
  3. Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a flameproof casserole dish.
  4. Add the onion, garlic to the casserole and fry until soft.
  5. Add the sausages and fry until nicely browned all over.
  6. Stir in the potatoes, browned sausages, bay leaves and a glass of water (150ml)
  7. Zest the lemon into the pan and then wring out the juice over the pan
  8. Season with salt and pepper
  9. Cover with the lid and bake for 30-40 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
  10. Remove the zest and bay leaves before serving

Variants

  • Add a sliced pepper or two to the casserole
