Prep time: 7 minutes
Cooking time: 45-50 minutes

INGREDIENTS
 
  • 3 TBSP Olive oil 
  • 2 large red onions, sliced length-ways into wedges 
  • 2 red peppers, de-seeded and cut into large chunks 
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped 
  • 1 TBSP chopped thyme leaves

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat the oven to 180C 
  2. Place all of the ingredients apart from the wine in a large resealable food bag. Seal and shake to make sure that all of the ingredients are properly coated in the oil and seasoning. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil into the baking tray and smear to fully coat. Pour all of the ingredients into the tray making sure the sausages are on top of the bedded vegetables. Add salt to taste.

White Parsley Sauce

Prep time: 5 minutes Cooking time: 8 minutes INGREDIENTS 25g butter 25g plain flour 650ml milk salt and white pepper 2 TBSP parsley leaves (finely chopped) INSTRUCTIONS Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in the flour (roux) and cook for 1-2 minutes (the roux should be a wet-paste consistency). Take the pan off the heat and gradually stir in the milk small batches at a time, beating the mixture constantly to form a sauce. Once all of the milk is added return to the hob and bring to the boil. If you feel your sauce needs to be thickened, simply mix 1 TSP cornflour and 1 TSP water in a glass and stir, then pour this into your sauce as it simmers. Stir constantly. Simmer gently for 8-10 minutes and season with salt and white pepper. Stir in the parsley and serve.
