Sticky Baked Sausages with Red Onion & Plums

30 minutes
Serves 2

This simple supper of our Mr.Peppers sausgaes with sticky sweet baked plums is perfect for busy weeknights and delicious served either with lightly crushed potatoes or plenty of crusty bread to mop up the copious amount of sauce. Choose any of our seasonal Kentish plums; anything on the larger side with a dusky pink or purple skin will work well.

We make this in a standard 26cm shallow casserole dish to serve 2 people. To serve 4, double the ingredients in a 30cm dish, but only use 150ml of chicken stock.

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 190 degrees.

  1. Set a medium shallow, heatproof casserole dish or heavy bottomed frying pan over a medium high heat, and heat the oil until shimmering. Add the sausages and brown all over.

  1. Pour the stock into the pan and deglaze, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Stir in the maple syrup, red wine vinegar, plums, red onions and a generous amount of salt and pepper.

  1. Transfer to the oven and bake uncovered for 20 minutes until the plums are soft, starting to caramelise, and the sausages and onions are cooked through.
