Description
A hearty sausage supper, served with an easy, creamy mustard sauce. This recipe also works brilliantly with veggie sausages.
Ingredients
- 300g/10½oz new potatoes, quartered
- 3 tsp sunflower oil
- 2 medium carrots (around 150g/5½oz), peeled and cut into batons
- 1 medium parsnip (around 125g/4½oz), peeled and cut into batons
- ½ medium onion, cut into 8 wedges
- 1 medium courgette (around 175g/6oz), halved lengthways and cut into 1.5cm/⅝in chunks
- 4 good-quality sausages
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- cooked green vegetables, such as shredded cabbage or kale, to serve
- 100ml/3½fl oz apple juice or cider
- 1 tsp wholegrain mustard
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 4 tbsp double cream
Directions
- Put the potatoes in a large bowl with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil, a good pinch of salt and plenty of black pepper. Toss well. If necessary, preheat your air fryer at 200C for 3 minutes, or until it reaches temperature.
- Scatter the potatoes over the crisper plate, then cook at 200C for 4 minutes. While the potatoes are cooking, add the carrot and parsnip to the same bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon of oil and seasoning.
- Add the carrots and parsnip to the potatoes, toss well and cook at 200C for 4 minutes. While the root vegetables are cooking, put the remaining olive oil, onion and courgette into the same mixing bowl, then season and toss together.
- Place the sausages on top of the root vegetables and cook at 200C for 5 minutes. Toss or shake the vegetables, turn the sausages and scatter the courgette and onion around them. Cook for 6 minutes more, turning everything after 3 minutes, or until the sausages are piping hot, thoroughly cooked and nicely browned and all the vegetables are tender.
- Meanwhile, make the mustard sauce. Pour the apple juice (or cider) into a small pan and bring to the boil. Simmer for about 4 minutes or until the liquid has reduced to around 3 tablespoons. Stir in the mustards and cream and return to a simmer, stirring. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Adjust the seasoning to taste and serve with the sausages and vegetables.
