This salsiccia con patate e pomodori al forno recipe, which translates to Sicilian baked sausage with potato, tomato and herbs, is from Diana Henry's From the Oven to the Table recipe book. David gave me a set of 3 of her books for Christmas...and I can't wait to cook from them all!!

It's a great one pan dish to enjoy either for supper or a weekend lunch. I made it for an evening meal in between Christmas and New Year and it was delicious...it'll definitely be made again...and again!! The flavours all go so very well together and you can make it as spicy as you like with extra chilli flakes.
Tips
- I struggle to get Italian sausages of any kind in our local supermarkets, so I buy my favourite pork ones from Asda and add 1 tsp of chilli flakes and 2 tsp of fennel seeds when making the full recipe.
- Potatoes - you can either use waxy or floury potatoes. The floury variety will take a little less time to cook. If you opt for small waxy ones, you won't need to peel them.
- This salsiccia con patate e pomodori al forno recipe is easily halved if you’re cooking for less people.

Ingredients
- 8 chunky, spicy, good-quality Italian sausages or pork sausages (see Tips)
- 6 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 0.25 tsp chilli flakes (you may want more if your sausages aren't that spicy – see Tips)
- 0.25 tsp fennel seeds, bashed a bit in a mortar (see Tips)
- 2 onions, thinly sliced
- 450g potatoes, peeled and cut into slices about 3mm thick (see Tips)
- 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 red and 1 yellow bell pepper, halved, deseeded and sliced
- salt and freshly ground pepper
- 250g tomatoes, sliced
- 30g pecorino cheese, finely grated
- 2 tbsp roughly chopped flat leaf parsley leaves, or the leaves from 4 oregano sprigs
- peppery salad leaves, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190C fan/400F/gas mark 6.
- Cut each sausage into 3 pieces. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a wide, fairly shallow ovenproof pan, about 30cm in diameter. Quickly brown the sausages all over (about 5 minutes), you just want to get a bit of colour on the outside, not cook them through. Add the chilli and fennel and cook for another minute.
- Toss in the onions, potatoes, garlic, and peppers and season. Add another couple of tbsp of oil, unless a lot of fat has come out of the sausages (some exude a lot, others don't). Finish with most of the sausage pieces on top.
- Cook in the oven for 20 minutes. Take the dish out of the oven and stir everything around. Put the tomatoes on top, season, sprinkle on the cheese, and drizzle on the remaining oil. Return to the oven and cook for a final 30 to 40 minutes, or until everything is golden and the potatoes are soft, gently stirring in whichever herb you want to use 10 minutes before the end of cooking time.
- Serve in the dish in which it has been cooked, along with some peppery salad leaves on the side.
