an autumnal dish for a winter's day

My mother has a very clever knack of throwing together great dishes consisting of only a handful of ingredients. And the dishes are always so tasty! One of the nicest is a dish she made in the last month or so which was always the perfect end to a busy or cold day, it's easy, its tasty and its so healthy you can make heaps of it! So this is dedicated to my mum who I hope will continue to give me lots of juicy ideas for recipes for years to come!

Serves 2

Ingredients:

4 sausages

2 courgettes

1 squash

1 sweet potato

1 plain potato

1 large carrot

mixed herbs (any you like)

oil

This is so simple!! All you have to do is find a large glass dish and cut up all the vegetables into chunks (make sure they are not too thick otherwise it will take a long time for them to cook all the way through) ad bung them into the dish. Add a dollop of oil and the herbs on top and then get stuck in with your hands mixing it all together! (It's a nice feeling isn't it). Put the whole thing into the oven and then cook for about half an hour (prod the veg after this amount of time to see if its getting softer)and then cook the sausages on a medium heat on the hob for about ten minutes until nice and brown. By the time the sausages are ready you can cut them into chunks and pop them on top of the vegetables for the last few minutes just to make them absorb the herbs and then everything is ready!! Serve lavishly with mountains of cheese and a cup of tea!Divine.
