Is my pekin bantam male or female?

Sticky sausage, thyme and apple bake

 

Ingredients:

1 tbspn olive oil

500g new potatoes, skins still on and thickly sliced

2 tbspns onion marmalade – I use a delicious one from Waitrose

2 Cox apples, peeled, cored and cut into wedges

2 tbspns chopped fresh thyme leaves

400g free range British pork sausages – I use ones from a local farm

300ml chicken stock – Kallo stock cubes are organic.

 

Pre-heat the oven to 180c, gas mark 4. Heat the oil in a roasting tin , add the potatoes and cook over a high heat on the hob until the taters start to brown. Remove from the heat and stir through the onion marmalade.

 

Add the apples to the tin and toss with the thyme and plenty of seasoning. Tuck the sausages among the potatoes and apples, then pour over the chicken stock to almost cover. Bake for 50-55 minutes until the taters are tender and the sausages are cooked through. Serve with shredded kale.

Yum! that sounds nice.

[The Dogmother]

It is delicious I had to test some of course

[Egluntyne]

Sounds lovely. Very Autumnal.

[MarkBevBen]

Oh yummy, you're making me feel very hungry Claret

[Rhapsody]

I like the sound of this, I'm always buying sausages from the farmers market and looking for new ways to cook them

[Lesley]

I've got my own version (WW Pointed) in the oven now - it smells good

[The Dogmother]

Let me know how it goes Lesley.

 

Rhapsody, I use a local farmers' pork and cider sausages and it's divine.

[Lesley]

I loved it - I think OH found it a bit too sweet.

It really does dun't it!

 

Think I'm gonna have to make my version too ... veggie!

[Lesley]

I loved it - I think OH found it a bit too sweet.

 

I've found out why it was so sweet - I've found an empty, half pound, jar that was full of onion marmalade Obviously OH (aka Floyd ) has a different tablespoon to everyone else

[The Dogmother]

That'll be it then - he was a bit heavy with the onion marmalade - pork is quite a sweet meat anyhow. I add plenty of pepper when make it, which would take the edge off. I don't have a sweet tooth and find it fine.

Printing off to do sometime - Is the onion marmalade very er oniony as YS hate onions - not sure what could use instead. Will puruse the Waitrose chutney ailse - I could blend it to disguise I s'pose. i am a deivous mum always finding ways of hiding veg in things

[Gertie]

I've just made this - was looking for something for tea earlier. Absolutely delicious & I will defo be making this again. Used cooking apples from the garden too!
