Renowned chef and national treasure Mary Berry has shared a recipe that is set to transform your busy weekday evenings. Her roasted sausage and potato supper is being hailed as the ultimate midweek dinner solution, combining simplicity with delicious results.
The Ultimate One-Dish Wonder
What makes this dish so special is its incredible ease of preparation. The entire meal is cooked in a single roasting tin, meaning minimal washing up and maximum flavour. From start to finish, it takes just about one hour to get this comforting supper on the table.
Mary Berry herself has endorsed the recipe, stating it will "become a firm family favourite". She emphasises that it is "so quick and easy to put together", making it ideal for those hectic nights when time is of the essence.
Simple Ingredients, Maximum Flavour
The recipe, which generously serves four to six people, uses straightforward, wholesome ingredients. You will need:
- Two tablespoons of olive oil
- Two large onions, sliced into wedges
- Two diced red peppers
- Two chopped garlic cloves
- One tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves
- 500g of halved baby new potatoes
- Twelve sausages, pricked with a fork
- 200ml of white wine (or stock for children)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Mary Berry recommends using your favourite type of local, British sausage for the best results, noting that her own family adores the leek and sage variety.
Effortless Three-Step Method
The magic of this recipe lies in its simple three-step process. First, preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/Gas 7. Next, place all the ingredients except the wine into a large freezer bag or bowl. Seal the bag and shake vigorously, or toss in the bowl, until everything is evenly coated in the oil.
Transfer the coated ingredients to a large roasting tin, spreading them in a single layer. Ensure the sausages are not hidden beneath the vegetables. Season well and roast for 30-35 minutes until golden. Remove the tray, turn the sausages, and toss the veggies in the juices.
The final step is to pour in the 200ml of white wine and return the tin to the oven for a further 20 minutes, until the sausages are fully cooked and the potatoes are tender. Serve immediately with a side of mustard, or with rice, couscous, or pasta for a more substantial meal.
This one-dish wonder proves that a delicious, home-cooked meal doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming, making it a true midweek lifesaver for families across the UK.
