Method

  • step 1

    Crumble half the stock cube into a mug and top up with boiling water. Stir until dissolved. Heat the oil in a frying pan, then fry the onion and sausage pieces for 5 mins until the meat is browned, but not cooked through. Tuck the vegetable chunks around the sausages and onions, season well with black pepper and salt to taste, then add 4 tbsp of the stock.

  • step 2

    Cover the pan with a lid or large piece of foil, making sure there are no gaps at the edges. Turn the heat to medium and leave for 25 mins until the veg are tender and the sausages cooked through. Stir at the end of cooking time – the veg will have caramelised against the bottom of the pan and almost all of the cooking liquid will have been absorbed.

Simple and delicious. I doubled everything for 2 of us and used parsnips instead of carrots because that's what I had in the cupboard. All the stock was used so I didn't need to add more salt.

Always popular at ours - very tasty and hearty, good comfort food. I tend to use more stock than suggested here, and find that the potato cooks more quickly than the other veg, so turns quite mushy - either add it later if you'd prefer, or enjoy the mushy bits at the bottom of the pan!

I really love this, it's a great winter warmer and very good value. I think the quantities described above, with a few more sausages chucked in, would easily serve 2, so it's pocket friendly. Whilst the cooking method could be lower fat, there's lots of veg in there so it's not that unhealthy and…

Tried this with a bit of stock made from tbsp peanut butter andtsp of marmite. Makes it a lot more flavoursome.

881 calories for a main meal of the day isn't exactly belt-busting considering a female adults recommmended calorie intake is 2,000!

A great easy to make meal, a firm favourite once term time starts.
