Recipe

 It
is many years since Hub-UK was first launched. It has
been created with recipes contributed from all over
the world, from professionals and amateurs alike. A
great many of the recipes do not have any details as
to who sent them in or from where they came but this
is one I do for my own family . . . real comfort food.
This
recipe for Sausage Casserole has not been published
up until now as I seem to find so little time for the
writing up of my own recipes. Any recipe like this is
only a guide and the ingredients and quantities can
be varied to put your own slant on the dish
"The
most indispensable ingredient of all good home cooking
- love, for those you are cooking for" ~ Sophia
Loren.
This is a nice simple recipe, which I do in a large
stovetop pot. It is far quicker to cook than a meat
casserole, which needs a longer cooking time to tenderise
the meat. You can vary the ingredients to suit your
likes and dislikes. I hate carrots but you might want
to add some carrots or other root vegetable.
Ingredients
for Sausage Casserole
12 Beef sausage
2 medium Leeks
1 onion
3 beef stock cubes (I use Knorr)
1 tbsp Balsamic vinegar (optional)
1 lt water (or do half water and half red wine)
Oil to fry onions and leeks
200g tin Baked beans
Drop of gravy browning
How
to make Sausage Casserole
- Part
cook the sausages under the grill or in a frying pan
to brown them. No need to cook completely - just enough
to make them look appetising.
- While
the sausages are cooking peel and thinly slice your
onion. Sauté onion in large pot with enough
oil to cover base of pot (Rapeseed oil is very good).
-
Top, tail and peel and thinly slice your leeks while
the onion is cooking. When onion is starting to soften
add Balsamic vinegar and leeks to pot and cook for
two or three minutes more.
-
Add your water or water and red wine to the pan and
bring to the boil.
-
Add stock cubes and stir to dissolve.
-
Add sausages, cover and simmer for about 1½
to 2 hours.
-
Add a small amount of extra liquid if getting too
dry.
-
Add baked beans, stir into gravy and simmer until
warmed through.
-
Serve with roast potatoes and Yorkshire Puddings.
