If your usual MO when it comes to sausages is to either A) stick them between two slices of white sliced and cover them in ketchup or, B) nuke them on a barbecue, then you need this recipe in your life. “I’ve been making this for years – it’s real comfort food and very, very satisfying,” says Catherine from Borrowed Light, who shot the mouthwateringly-good images. “Use the best quality sausages you can, it really does make all the difference,” she adds. Serves 4.

Method
Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees.
In a frying pan heat a little oil and brown the sausages.
Spread out the sliced leeks and onions on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper, mix a little to evenly spread the oil
Place the browned sausages on top and put in the oven for 30-40 minutes (or until the sausages are fully cooked. Turn the sausage 3-4 times during this time.
Remove from the oven, add the fresh thyme.
Add a heaped tablespoon of wholegrain mustard to a pot of sour cream and mix thoroughly.
Per plate, add a heaped serving of leeks and onions, place two sausages on top and add a large spoon of sour cream and mustard mix on the side. Serve as is, or with a green salad, crusty bread, or mashed potato.

I hope this doesn’t sound in anyway ahem…rude. But I have been OBSESSED with sausages since I became pregnant. I would be quite happy to have sausage and mash every night for my tea.
This alternative seems far more sophisticated though!
It looks delicious. Hoping it would turn out the same with veggie sausages too? (Quorn rather than Linda’s…)
I don’t see why not? It’s the combination of getting a little bit of everything, including the mustard/sour cream mix, onto every fork full that makes this recipe work- a little bit like how Gregg from Masterchef does it!
Wow what a delicious recipe. Some of my favourite foods in this dish. Cant wait to try it.
