Such a good Autumnal recipe, and one that all ages can enjoy. It’s what I would call a favourite family recipe. The grandchildren enjoy sausages, it’s not a spicy recipe but a tasty one 😋 and you can choose your favourite sausages to use, if you don’t want to use pork ones!
Ingredients
Serves Six
1 small butternut squash, about 750g/1lb 10oz
2 red onions, sliced into rings
2 apples, unpeeled, cored and sliced
12 pork sausages
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp runny honey
1 tsp English mustard
salt and freshly ground black pepper
15g/½oz fresh flatleaf parsley, finely chopped, to garnish (optional)
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7.
2. Cut the squash into quarters and leave it unpeeled. Remove the seeds then cut each quarter into 5mm/¼in slices.
3. Place the squash a very large baking tray with the onion, apple and sausages. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil and season well with salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, whisk together the honey, mustard and remaining oil in a small bowl. Drizzle over the sausages and vegetables and turn to coat everything in the dressing.
5. Return to the oven for 10 minutes until the sausages are browned and cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Sprinkle over the parsley, if using, and serve.
Tips
i) If you don’t have a large enough baking tray, spread the ingredients out on two trays so they have space to roast and don’t end up steaming.
ii)Â Serve with extra greens on the side to bulk this out further.
