This is based on Jamie Oliver's Comforting Sausage Bake recipe.
Home made rosemary and garlic focaccia was a first. I used the bread maker recipe and used garlic infused oil to drizzle on the top having studded with rosemary. Was eaten as an accompaniment to a soup. JUST managed to have enough left for this recipe. Himself was so so close to being in trouble!
In theory the below is for 4. There are three of us here at the moment. I'll say no more.
Heat the oven to 180C (fan)
Put into a roasting tray 600g halved cherry tomatoes, 4 finely sliced cloves of garlic and 200g rosemary focaccia that has been torn into bite-sized chunks. Pour over a tin of cannellini beans - water/juices and all. Drizzle with 1tbsp olive oil and 1tbsp red wine vinegar. Mix it all together.
Now to the sausages - you need 12 chipolatas. Pinch and twist each one in the middle to make two mini ones. Dot around the bake, pressing lightly into the beans and tomatoes.
Roast for 45 minutes.
Recipes and at least some menu planning for each week
About this blog
I started this blog as a place for me to record evening menu plans for a week for my family of four, somewhere to store the recipes I have on scraps of paper or in my head and potentially where kids can access their mother's recipes in the years to come. Both 'kids' are good cooks in their own right.
Some years on and it is now also a place I can share recipes with friends. Enjoy!
About the family
Me - I am a working mother of 2. I love cooking, when I get time, and planning out or at least having ideas for evening meals during the week helps considerably.
Mr B - the other main cook and a very good one too, but he does like to follow a recipe to the letter.
E - eldest child. Has been a pescatarian for a number of years now.
M - tallest of the family even though the youngest. Along with Mr B an out and out carnivore.
Recipes
We're based in the UK so you'll find a mix of measurements for my recipes. Where possible I have linked to online recipes from some of my favourite cooks and their cook books.
If you need any clarification do add a comment to the recipe and I will get back to you.
