Ingredients
- 4 tbsp vegetable oil
- 8 pork sausages, separated
- 1–2 medium onions, cut into thick wedges
- 1 large red pepper, deseeded and sliced
- 650g/1lb 7oz potatoes, halved lengthways and cut into roughly 15mm/⅝in slices
- 3 tbsp runny honey
- 4–5 tsp wholegrain mustard
- ¼–½ tsp dried chillii flakes (optional to taste)
- 100g/3½oz frozen peas, fully thawed (see tip below)
- salt and ground black pepper
Method
Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7. Put the oil, sausages, onions, peppers and potatoes in a large baking tray or shallow roasting tin. Season with a little salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper and toss together.
Roast for 20 minutes. Take out of the oven and turn the vegetables and sausages using tongs or a couple of forks. Return to the oven and cook for 15–20 minutes more or until the potatoes are tender and crisp in places and the sausages are nicely browned.
Take the tray out of the oven once more, drizzle the honey over the sausages and dot the mustard over the vegetables. Gently toss together. Sprinkle with the chilli flakes if using, then scatter the thawed peas over the top and return to the oven for further 5 minutes or until the honey melts and the sausages are sticky.
Recipe Tips
You can thaw the peas by putting them in a sieve and pouring hot water from a kettle over them, or defrosting them in the microwave. You can also serve them separately if you don’t want to scatter them over the tray.
You can use beef, lamb or chicken sausages instead of pork but you will probably have to pay a few pence more.
Choose your largest oven tray so that everything fits easily and cooks evenly.
