What kind of deviant cooks sausages on the oven?

I finish them in the oven when making sausage and mash. I brown them in a heavy bottomed saucepan, slowly, whilst my onions are finishing caramelising. Then after I've made the roux and added the stock to the onions, I pour off the excess fat and add the gravy over the sausages. This lifts all the fond from the bottom of the pan and then I stick in in the oven for 30 minutes.

Delicious.

I also do that if making fancy gravy, but if there's no time, I fry them at a low heat, 5 minutes a side, for 25 minutes. I get to sit down for most of it. Just have to get up to turn when the alarm goes off.

It's sausages & sausages here today. Later before night shift I will have a veggie sausage sandwich then at around 2am I shall zap my quorn sausages & mashed turnip & potato ready meal in a onion gravy and then zap some veggies.

It's what I have in and I'm too tired/skint to make any changes.

 

[Greebo]

sausages, rice and peas

 

[Geri]

Just finished making a cottage pie.

 

[moonsi til]

no first sausages but spiced lentil soup and a lush very seedy bread..

 

[BoatieBird]

Not at all! I boil up the whole joint (for some reason they're called gammon joints these days, but that's recent) and it's tender and very tasty. The resulting stock is very salty but can be used watered down for making something like a pea or lentil soup the next day.

Yum, one of my favourites
I did it at the weekend but I do gammon joint and soup at the same time in the slow cooker. I soaked the meat overnight first to get rid of some of the salt and then bunged it in the slow cooker with carrot, celery, onion, garlic and loads of yellow split peas. Gammon for dinner and 6 portions of soup for work lunches.
I even managed to wrestle some of the leftover gammon from the bloke to add back into the blended soup.

Tonight we had potato wedges, quiche (goats cheese and red pepper pesto) and salad.

Mmm that sounds good. I've had a bag of orzo in the cupboard for ages now, and couldn't decide what to do with it. This sounds fab though - think I'll nick it

Pea and parmesan risotto tonight though

 

[Orang Utan]

something malaysian, apparently

Zesty haddock with crushed potatoes and peas. We seem to eat peas with everything

[Biddlybee]

I love peas

 

[sojourner]

I do too I didn't eat them for years though cos I found them so frustrating - until I discovered the art of eating peas with a SPOON and not a fork

 

[Biddlybee]

I had a mountain of peas last night, and making keema this weekend

 

[sojourner]

One of the best things you can have in your store cupboard (or rather, freezer!) is a bag of peas - can put them with bloody loads of things. Instant veg

 

[Biddlybee]

I tried frozen broccoli... not so good, frozen green beans are ok, but peas

 

[sojourner]

Yeh, broc and cauli - rubbish, but the firmer veg aren't so bad. Peas are the bestest though

 

[Biddlybee]

I'm starting to think I should get out more

 

[sojourner]

I'm giving myself a break from writing a dense and intense piece I'm doing for another competition. It's chockful of really fucking clever ideas and a genius structure (modest as always eh? hehe), but fuck me, I've been at it for ages now and talking about the pros and cons of frozen veg is right up my street

I eat my peas with honey;
I've done it all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny,
But it keeps them on the knife.

Not just that- they're great for bringing down swelling & bruises as they mould around the body better than most other types of frozen fruit or veg, and they're cheap.

I considered quoting that, but thought it'd be too cheesy.

 

[Orang Utan]

Mmm cheesy peas
