This meal is great served with mash and seasonal green or roasted veges. Make it for a potluck dinner, take a photo and you could be in to win a trip for two to Wanaka for lunch at Annabel’s place!

Prep 10 mins

Cook 40 mins

Serves 4

6-8 good-quality pork sausages or other good-quality sausages

2 tbsp neutral oil

2 large onions, halved and thinly sliced

2 cups beef stock

2 tbsp worcestershire sauce

2 tbsp tomato paste

2 tbsp fruity chutney or pickle

2 tbsp dijon mustard

2 tbsp soft brown sugar

¼ tsp cayenne pepper, or more to taste

2 tsp thyme leaves

salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Prick sausages and cook in a heavy- based frypan over medium heat or in an oven preheated to 200˚C fanbake until browned all over (20 minutes).

While sausages are cooking, heat oil in a large pot, add onions to the pan and cook over medium-low heat until onions are very soft and starting to brown (12 minutes).  Stir in all remaining ingredients except sausages and simmer gently over low heat for 15 minutes. Add browned sausages and simmer another 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve hot.
