Sausage Traybake

I can take absolutely no credit for this wonderful recipe, my friend Alice made it for me for the first time last week, and was entirely taken by it.


Traybakes are perfect for students as they are relatively cheap and very easy, given that you can basically put everything in the oven at the same time. This tray bake is a wonderful combination of flavours, and might even be able to convince the average student to eat a vegetable occasionally.

You can use pretty much whatever sausages you want for this, thyme and rosemary sausages work especially well. Even vegetarian sausages will work, though you may need to add some liquid to the tray if you do this.

Start by roughly dicing your potatoes, and put them in the bottom of the pan with some olive oil and seasoning, stirring to coat the potatoes. Prick the sausages lightly with a fork and coat them in oil, strip rosemary needles from the stalk and crush a few cloves of garlic and sprinkle them over the potatoes and sausages. Roast in the oven on a medium heat until the sausages have browned slightly.


Peel a red onion and slice it into eighths, sprinkle it over the sausages, and return the tray to the oven. Finally dice some button mushrooms and add them to the tray with some cherry tomatoes and a little more oil, until the sausages have cooked through and have browned, and the potatoes are soft in the middle.

Ingredients

9 sausages (or 3 per person)
300g potatoes, diced
1 red onion
200g button mushrooms
a handful of Cherry Tomatoes
olive oil
salt & pepper
