Chorizo Sausages & tomato-braised vegetables

The cheating cook's at it again! As spanish as Andrew Sachs in Fawlty Towers but very tasty. I picked up these sausages in Asda, reduced to £1.40 for 3 - labelled chorizo but in my opinion just pork and paprika.


 Rather than trying to imitate Patatas Bravas, I roasted some new potatoes in their skin with garlic and went for a casseroled cousin of ratatouille: a handful of sliced courgettes, some button mushrooms, a red onion cut in rustic chunks, a tomato quartered, and some black olives. Add tomato juice to half-fill the dish, with 1tsp garlic puree & 1 tsp basil mixed in and bake for about 30-40 minutes - I did the sausages and potatoes at the same time.


Delicious with a big glass of red!
