Bacon and onion sausage bake

Serves:

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 3 Spanish onions, peeled, cut into wedges
• 150g bacon or speck, thickly diced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, sliced
• 8 sage leaves
• 8 good-quality pork sausages
• 2 tsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 1/2 cups (375ml) chicken stock
• 2 tsp honey

Method

Preheat oven to 190°C conventional (170°C fan-forced). Toss onions and bacon in oil and place in a baking pan. Season well and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, add garlic and sage and stir to combine. Place sausages in a single layer on top of onion mixture and return to oven for 25-30 minutes. Turn halfway through to brown evenly.

Once sausages are done, remove to a plate and keep them warm. Place baking pan onto the stove top over medium heat. Add vinegar and stir well to deglaze the pan. After 30 seconds, pour in stock and simmer for 5 minutes. Add honey and combine well. Season if required.

Serve sausages with mashed potatoes and steamed green vegetables, with bacon and onion sauce spooned over the top.

Serving Suggestions

Note

• I used thick English-style pork sausages here but any good quality sausage would be fine. Thin sausages will require a shorter baking time.
• If you can't find thick-cut bacon, purchase a piece of speck and slice it to your desired thickness.
