I didn't take any prep pictures as I just chucked this together today and didn't know how it would turn out !
Ingredients ( makes enough for a small army )
12 x cumberland sausages
1x hooge onion
Garlic ( I think I used about 4 cloves )
Mixed herbs
Worcershireshireshire sauce
1x green pepper
1x large carrot
1x large courgette
1x leek
2x celery
2x tins of chopped toms
2 pints of stock ( 2x veg oxo & 2 x beef oxo )
Large splash of red wine
Cornflour
S&P to taste
Method :
Shallow fry the sausages until slightly browned, put to one side to cool off.
Brown the onions in a little olive oil with the garlic, mixed herbs and worcs sauce.
Once the onions are soft add the chopped toms, stock & red wine - mix thoroughly.
Add the sausages ( chopped into thirds )
Add the rest of the chopped veg, cover and either simmer for about an hour or place in a slow cooker for about 3/4 hours.
When it has about 30 mins to go add some cornflour to thicken.

I am thinking whether or not I could cook this tonight.
I have lack of red wine :(

You don't need it BBx. Just add some water with a dash of soy sauce or something. The spag bol I make is supposed to have red wine in it, but I'm not bloody opening a bottle of wine just for that so I substitute it with water with a few drops of worcs sauce and soy sauce. Works fine :)
I'm doing my best to remember when we cooked this and how long it was on for. It should be easy, but I can't remember :(

Cool! Fanks! :D
Does anyone know if one could pour red wine into ice cubes for such a purpose?
Would be more convenient if one could freeze wine cubes :cool:!
(Makes sure Dym doesn't hear) ;)

piggy is that 3/4 of an hour or 3-4 hours?
3 to 4 hours in the slow cooker or about an hour in the oven
We're having this tonight again as I made a shedload and put some in the freezer :D
I think the wine really adds to the taste but I just have a bottle of red with a stopper in it for cooking.
How long do you find it lasts piggy? I always worry that it'll go off after a couple of days.

ooops LOL ! ;D
I've got a bottle with a stopper in it which has been opened for about 3 months now, it would taste awful for drinking but fine for cooking :)
yep i'm sure you can!
Well, I am going to do just that!!! :D

FNAR ! ;D
twas yummeh !
Only got 2 more portions left in the freezer so need to make some more soon .. and some chilli .. nom nom nom !
I made this last night for us to eat tonight - it looks & smells good. Full report after the eating tonight :)
I can confrim it was yummy.
Cook off required tbh! ;D
We actually almost had two different meals - Matt's serving was lots of sausage bits, a few veg and some sauce, mine was lots of veg and sauce with a few sausage bits! Both were yumtastic though :)
OK, you come to ours and we'll cook it for you....then the next weekend we'll come to yours and you cook for us :D
When I say you and we do the cooking...I actually mean you and Sinead cook, Matt and I will play games and do the judging ;D
But if you don't let Matt in the kitchen you won't get the Gordon Ramsey performance!
That looks lovely, will have to try that for Cliffy and the kids.
I'm down at my parents this weekend, and I offered to cook them (and Kari) something for this evening, in part to save mum hassle cooking one handed (she's broken her left wrist)

Hmmm.. nom nom nom!
Made with veggie sausages because of Kari... forgot the carrots though:o Kari got under my fe... I mean, helped out with the cooking doing useful stuff like chopping some (Kari claims "most") of the veg and stirring the casserole in the pan whilst I faffed about trying desperately to remember what order I was supposed to be doing things in :)
Served with a nice bottle of red, followed up with some ice cream on meringue nests.
Cheers for the recipe Piggy :)
