Sausage Traybake

Description

This sausage traybake is an absolute banger! Easy & quick, It combines hearty sausages, sweet peppers & creamy butterbeans in a honey & balsamic glaze.

The default recipe serves 2.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large red onion, cut into chunks
  • 1 red pepper, cut into thick slices
  • 1 yellow pepper, cut into thick slices
  • 4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
  • 400g / 14oz tinned butterbeans
  • 200g / 7oz sausages (see note 1)
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, stripped from stems (see note 2)
  • 250ml / 1 cup white wine (see note 3)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F.
  2. Spread the onion, peppers, garlic and butter beans on a baking tray. (see note 4)
  3. Drizzle over the vinegar, olive oil and honey and scatter over the thyme. Season well. With clean hands, mix everything together so all the ingredients are coated in the juices.
  4. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. 
  5. Give the ingredients a shake and turn the sausages. Pour over the wine and return to the oven for a further 20-25 minutes. 

Notes

  1. I typically make this with British style (raw minced meat in sauce casing) pork sausages, but you can use beef or chicken or even a vegetarian option if preferred.
  2. You can use dried thyme if preferred, but use just half the amount.
  3. You can use chicken or vegetable stock instead of the wine if you prefer. Or you can even omit the liquid altogether – although the result is a little dry. 
  4. Make sure that your ingredients are evenly spread on the baking tray, and not stacked too high, or else it won’t cook evenly. If your baking tray is too small or you are making several portions then spread the ingredients over two trays.
  5. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven. If the dish is looking dry then add a splash of stock or water before reheating. 
  6. I don’t recommend freezing this, as the texture of the butterbeans will not hold up to freezing and thawing.
