Sausage Recipes
Isn’t it good sometimes to sit around and talk about recipes? In a conversation recently, we were discussing our favourite meal recipes and Rachel began telling me about the delicious sausage recipe she had cooked the night before. As she was talking I found that I was thinking how delicious the recipe sounded – in fact it was making me positively hungry – so I asked her to write down the recipe.
Exchanging recipes has tasty results – like this delicious and easy sausage recipe!
It was one of those moments for her that she just put together some ingredients she had in a way that she thought would work – and indeed it turned out splendid. So not only was it delicious, but Rachel was quite proud of herself. And by talking about recipes, we all get great supper ideas from each other. And let’s face it – often the hardest thing about cooking supper is actually deciding what to have!
Onion and Sausage – A Winning Combination
In these days of celebrity chefs and being told the exact ‘proper’ way to make an omelette, or make exotic and expensive meals, we can lose our confidence to just have a go at making something with simple ingredients we love in case we are doing it ‘wrong’. But if something tastes nice and has good ingredients, there is no wrong way. So do have a go at putting together your own recipes.
You can always take an idea from a recipe book or celebrity chef but do your own thing, add your own twist, especially if you don’t have all the ingredients stated in the recipe. And simple basic ingredients can often create the best suppers!
Onion & Sausage Tart
This recipe was based on sausages, onions, apples and potatoes. It’s a delicious combination, however you cook it, but this just made it extra nice! It is not a ‘real’ tart as there is no pastry. It is just that the potato that makes a pastry-like layer. You could even turn it out upside down to make it look more like a ‘tart’
This would be great with vegetarian sausages too!

This does look good although I would make it with vegetarian sausage. Apple sage veggie sausage is our family’s favorite and would I think go very well in this recipe.
