Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large onions, sliced into wedges
- 2 red bell peppers, deseeded and cut into large chunks
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
- 500g (1 lb 2 oz) baby new potatoes, halved
- 12 sausages, pricked with a fork
- 200ml (7 fl oz) white wine
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C fan) or Gas Mark 7 to ensure it reaches the proper roasting temperature before you prepare the ingredients.
- Prepare the Ingredients: In a large resealable freezer bag, combine the sliced onions, red peppers, chopped garlic, fresh thyme leaves, halved baby potatoes, and pricked sausages. Drizzle with olive oil, seal the bag, and shake well so all ingredients are evenly coated. Alternatively, you can toss everything together in a large bowl. Then, transfer the mixture to a large roasting tin, spreading it out evenly so the sausages are visible on top. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Roast: Place the roasting tin in the preheated oven and roast for 30 to 35 minutes. Halfway through cooking, take the tin out, turn the sausages over, and toss the vegetables in the accumulated juices to promote even browning and flavor absorption.
- Add the Wine and Finish Roasting: After tossing, pour the white wine over the sausages and vegetables. Return the tray to the oven and roast for an additional 20 minutes. This will allow the sausages to brown fully and cook through while making the potatoes tender and the vegetables richly caramelized.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot. This dish pairs wonderfully with a dollop of mustard on the side for added flavor, creating a satisfying and cozy meal perfect for any occasion.
Notes
- Use a sturdy roasting tin to ensure even cooking and easy turning of ingredients.
- Prick sausages before roasting to allow fat to render and prevent bursting.
- If you prefer, substitute the white wine with chicken broth or apple cider for a non-alcoholic version.
- For extra crispiness, broil the sausages for 2-3 minutes at the end of roasting, watching closely to prevent burning.
- This recipe can be easily adapted to include other vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms.
