How to cook Sausage Vegetable & Gravy Bake
- Preheat the oven to 200*C/400*F/ gas mark 6. Have ready a baking dish deep enough to hold the vegetables and sausage. My 7 by 10 inch dish is the perfect size.
- Whisk together all of the ingredients for the gravy. Pour this into the baking dish.
- Toss the prepared vegetables in a bowl together with the oil, herbs, garlic and some seasoning. Pour them into the baking dish with the gravy. You will have lots peeking over top. This is perfect as they will caramelise a bit. Top with the sausages.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Flip the sausages over and return to the oven and bake for a further half an hour at which time the vegetables should be cooked through and the sausages will be golden brown and cooked through.
- Divide the vegetables and sausages between two plates and spoon some gravy over top of each.
If you don't have sausages, I am sure you could use chicken pieces in much the same way. They would also be very good. How are you all getting along? Our weather has been beautiful these last few days so its not been too bad. We've been able to sit out of doors and enjoy the sunshine and today I even saw butterflies. Spring is definitely here.
