Sausage, Tomato and Balsamic Traybake

This dish is an absolute winner. A handful of ingredients, a little bit of chopping and then into the oven and onto a plate in just 30 minutes...


Sausages are profoundly underrated: yes, we all love them as part of a fry-up or in a sandwich but if you get good quality ones, they should certainly be used as part of a main meal too. This dish, whilst only using a few ingredients, has lots of flavour big-hitters - garlic, red onions, balsamic and basil - which all roast and cook together to create a dish you will make again and again!
