Shaushages.


It's been freezing over the whole of Europe recently; we've even had a couple of overnight temperatures of around -7 C.

So, dear 'George' (our wood fired kitchen stove) has been permanently ablaze, and pumping out heat for a couple of weeks or more.  

This means that long, slow-cooked, stews, and baked potatoes, are almost permanently on the go as well as another simple winter favourite; oven roasted sausage. 



I've never really understood why it should be, but oven roasted sausage tastes so completely different (and better) than pan-fried.

The above, as you can see, was consumed with the obligatory baked potatoes; plus a few straggler sprouts from Haddock's. Simple country fare, but you can't get much better.

  2. Perfect winter comfort food! I agree about roasting sausages. Definitely different - and better - than frying them. I like to cook bacon in the oven rather than the pan as well.

  3. Wow! That looks yummy. We bought a very yummy sausage on a bagette with frits on top at a market last time we were in France. We're still talking about it!
    But ..... there seems to be a lot of sausage (and potato for that matter !) there for two people but I guess your body needs lots of energy to keep warm??

    1. I wondered if someone would remark about the quantity. We ate our fill last night, then I kept some back for a Cassoulet for tonight, and possibly for tomorrow.

  7. Never thought of roasting sausage in the oven, but will give it a go. Vege always tastes sweater when roasted. Liked the round pan for it.

  9. You can't beat a solid fuel stove for cooking. I use my Rayburn oven constantly - does things so much better.
