I made this for tea this evening and it was lovely. It was a Waitrose recipe card that I picked up at the weekend.

It says that this amount serves 2-3 but I only added a few extra bits of red onion, and extra apple, and a glug or 2 extra of the cider. We had 10 sausages and it served the 5 of us nicely.

454g sausages

a little oil for frying

200g smoked lardons

225g small shallots peeled

1 heaped tsp plain flour

375ml strong dry cider

1 clove of garlic crushed

1 bay leaf

1 rounded tsp fresh thyme and a few sprigs

1 medium ox's apple cored and sliced into thick rings

 

Brown the sausages in the oil in a flame proof casserole, until browned on all sides then remove to a plate

add the lardons and shallots and brown lightly

Add the flour to soak up the juices then gradually add the cider stiring all the time

Put the sausages back in along with the bay leaf, garlic and thyme and plenty of black pepper

Bring to a simmer and then put into the oven at 180 for 30 minutes

Then remove the lid and cook for a further 20-30 minutes

Towards the end of the cooking time fry the apple gently in the butter until golden and soft then garnish the top of the casserole with it.

 

We served it with mash and peas and it was lovely.

I did it this week too & we all really liked it.

Found the sausages a bit 'meaty' for my liking,but Hubby loved them
