Roasted Sausage and Cherry Tomato Tray Bake
Roasted Sausage and Cherry Tomato Tray Bake
If you’re like me and are always on the look out for new ways to cook boring old sausages, then you might love this recipe as much as I do! Roasted sausages that cook up beautifully on a bed of cherry tomatoes, capsicum, red onion and herbs which blend together to make the most delicious sauce for mashed potato — yum!!
Here’s what you’ll need to get this on your table in about an hour or so.
Good quality pork or beef sausages, two punnets of cherry tomatoes, a red capsicum, red onion, fresh rosemary and thyme, dried oregano, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper.
I used two packets of sausages (six per pack) because we are a family of six, you could easily use less if you have less people to feed. I would keep the rest of the ingredients as per the recipe though.
Place the tomatoes, chopped onion and capsicum in a large roasting tray with the sliced garlic and herbs. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil and season with freshly ground salt and pepper.
Now place the sausages on top and pop into the oven for half an hour before turning the sausages and roasting for another half an hour.
This is what it will look like when it comes out! It smells like heaven at this point!
Serve on top of mashed potato with the roasted tomato and capsicum sauce drizzled on top. We really enjoyed this meal and will be making it again soon. I hope you enjoy it too!
