Winter Warmer - Cabbage and Sausage Bake

With the weather turning on us, I would like to share this simple and seasonal recipe to help you warm yoursleves from with in.

It is a very simple dish that you can stick in the oven and leave. The dish will cook itself into a lovely sweet caramelised wholesome dish perfect for winter. It's based on a Jane Grigson recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2kg cabbage
• 700g plain pork sausages (good ones!)
• butter

Method

1. Shred the cabbage and blanch in boiling water for about 4 minutes. Drain and refresh. Next butter an oven proof dish and set aside. Slit the sausage skins and remove sausage meat.
2. Place a third of the cabbage on the bottom of the pot and season well. Next place half of the sausage meat on top of cabbage, pressed down. Continue with layers, seasoning each layer and finishing with a layer of cabbage. Cover tightly and cook in the oven at 150ºC for about 2 hours.
