I made this speedily last week when I was writing for a deadline of my thesis. It was just for me and took under five minutes to put together, then an hour in the oven. I was pleased with how it came out.
For One
Ingredients:
2 fennel sausages (or good quality British ones, and add a sprinkle of fennel seeds)
1 onion, sliced finely
1 garlic, clove chopped finely
1 large ripe beef tomato, cut up into small chunks
a few artichoke hearts in oil, sliced
glug of white wine
a few basil leaves, torn up
½ lemon
How I made it:
Pre-heat the oven to around 180 celsius. Into a small oven dish, arrange the sliced onions, tomato and garlic, basil and artichokes in the bottom. Lay the sausages on top. Pour over a good glug of olive oil, wine, a good squeeze of lemon, and a pinch of salt. Place the dish, covered, into an oven for 20 minutes. Turn the sausages. Then cook for a further 30-40 uncovered. Season and serve with bread – I had ciabatta.
Eaten with:
Ciabatta, and a glass of white wine.
N.B.
This can easily be scaled-up for more people – just add more sausages and some tomato and onion etc.
