SAUSAGE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 200 degrees (fan) in the meantime chop the celery, onion (diced), mushrooms and peppers (diced) adding them straight into your cooking pot.
• Brown off the sausages a little in a frying pan turning occasionally for around 10 minutes.
• Add the cornflour, balsamic vinegar, a knob of butter and a drizzle of oil into the cooking pot and stir until the flour is mixed in. Add a sprinkle of sage, salt and black pepper into the mix. Put the casserole dish in the oven lid off for 10 mins to soften the veg.
• Meanwhile cut the sausages up into chunks and place in a large bowl stirring in the smoked paprika and the sliced garlic covering the sausage chunks.
• Once the veg has softened remove casserole pot from the oven and add the sausage chunks to the pot along with the tinned tomatoes and chicken stock giving the mix a good stir.
• Turn your oven down to around 120 degrees, put your casserole pot in the oven with lid on and cook for around 3 hours. Remove from oven and serve with rice or boiled baby potatoes.
