Autumn is the season for comforting cuisine, and sausages are a staple of British comfort food, often served as bangers and mash or toad in the hole. However, if you're tired of the same old gravy, Good Food's food editor Ailsa Burt has revealed a surprising ingredient that can transform pork: mango chutney.
In a TikTok clip from September, Ailsa demonstrated her recipe for a sausage traybake, calling it the "king" of midweek suppers. She explained: "This is the secret ingredient to the perfect sticky sausage traybake. Mango chutney. Who doesn't love a cosy, easy one pan midweek meal? And an added bonus, you're using up the dregs of your mango chutney jar."
The method is simple: heat the oven to 200C (180C fan)/gas 6. Combine nigella seeds, cumin, mustard seeds, curry powder, mango chutney, and oil in a large bowl. Add potatoes, sausages, onions, and peppers, then toss to coat evenly. Transfer to a large roasting tin and roast for 40-45 minutes, stirring halfway through. Sprinkle with coriander and serve with steamed greens if desired.
This recipe not only enhances flavour but also reduces food waste by using leftover condiments. The Good Food clip has already garnered over 11,000 views, proving the popularity of this easy, cosy meal.
