Mediterranean Sausage Bake

This is my version of a Jamie Oliver dish which he made on his last series, Jamie at Home. His version is fantastic and I would recommend you try it. However, my version I think is pretty good too, and slightly healthier as there is no bacon fat! :)

Ingredients for 4
8 Good quality Sausages
6 Tomatoes halved
1 Green Pepper sliced
1 Red Pepper sliced
12 Mushrooms left whole
2 Red Onions cut into thick rings
5 Cloves of Garlic
Olive Oil
balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper
Heaped Tsp of Smoked Paprika
Selection of fresh herbs - i usually use thyme, rosemary and basil

1. Preheat the oven to approx 180
2. Brown the sausages
3, whilst they are browning chop all your veg and add to a roasting tin. Season with salt and pepper, and add the smoked paprika.
4. Add approx 2 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tblsp of balsamic vinegar. Throw in the whole garlic cloves and mix it all well
5. Place the browned sausage on top of the veg and bake in the oven for about 45 minutes. The tomatoes should be mushy, the veggies charred and the sausage golden.
6. Serve with crusty bread and a green salad. This dish is always best just placed in the middle of the table and let everyone just dig in!

btw, There is no harm in adding a good glug of red or white wine when you add the oil and balsamic vinegar :)
