Sausage, Jerusalem artichoke and Savoy bake

Main Serves 4 1h 15 min
This simple recipe just requires you to add each of the ingredients to the roasting tin at the right time: first sausages, then Jerusalem artichokes and lentils, and finally the cabbage. Fragrantly seasoned with thyme, fennel seeds, chilli and lemon, nothing more is needed for a satisfying dinner.

Ingredients

  • oil for frying, e.g. rapeseed
  • 8 sausages
  • 1 litre hot chicken or light beef stock (you may not need it all)
  • 600g Jerusalem artichokes, scrubbed and cut into half or wedges
  • 80g Puy lentils, rinsed and drained
  • leaves from 4 large thyme sprigs
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • ¼ tsp dried chilli flakes
  • zest of ½ a lemon, finely grated
  • 1 Savoy cabbage, outer leaves removed, cut into wedges with the root intact
  • fresh parsley leaves, to garnish (optional)
  • salt and pepper

  • Step 1

    Preheat oven to 180°C/Gas 4.

    Cook in the oven for 15 minutes or so, uncovered, then wedge the cabbage between the other things in the tray and spoon over a little more stock.

  • Step 6

    Cook for another 10-15 minutes, until everything is tender. Sprinkle over the parsley to serve, if using.
