Sausage Tray Bake


As a busy working parent, I am always on the hunt for an easy recipe for dinner! Single pan/tray bakes save the day at least once a week here. The dressing makes the final result super-punchy but you can always leave it off for the fussy ones (they’ll probably have ketchup on the side if we are all honest).
Serves 4 hungry adults. Cooking Time is approx 55 minutes


Ingredients
• 500g sausages
• 6 large spuds, peeled and chopped
• 1 large onion, sliced
• Small amount of sunflower oil, salt and pepper
• 2-3 peppers chopped into chunks
• 1 small head of broccoli cut into florets
• For the dressing: Oil, salt & pepper, basalmic vinegar, 1 crushed/minced clove of garlic, plenty of fresh chopped coriander


Method
Preheat a fan oven to 180 degrees Celsius. You can also lash this into a cold oven but do increase the overall cooking time at the end!
Line a deep dish baking tray. Put the spuds, onions, and sausages into the tray with the oil and seasoning. Stir well to make sure everything is coated. Put the baking tray into the oven and roast for 40 minutes.
After 40 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and add the tender vegetables. Stir around in the tray to combine. Roast for a further 15 minutes.
To make the dressing: combine all the dressing ingredients in a jam jar. Put the lid on and shake well. Pour over the tray bake, stir to coat all the ingredients and serve immediately.

Maccaroons

Ingredients
200g caster sugar
2 medium egg whites
300g dried coconut


Method
Preheat a fan oven to 170°C. Line a baking tray with a sheet of non-stick greaseproof paper.
Combine the sugar, egg white and coconut with a fork in a large bowl, until you get a sticky paste.

Wet your hands and shape the mixture into balls. Space the eight balls of mixture on the baking tray.

Bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes, or until golden. Allow to cool before lifting them off the paper, otherwise they will stick.

Dip in chocolate and drizzle with chocolate if you like.
