ROASTED CABBAGE WITH HOMEMADE SAUSAGES

Ingredients:

• 1 medium-sized green cabbage
• 1 large onion
• 8-10 homemade sausages
• 1 tin chopped tomatoes
• 2-3 tbsp tomato puree
• 2-3 bay leaves
• Dill
• Salt
• Pepper
• 2 cubes of vegetable stock
• Vegetable oil
• Butter

Process:

1. Pre-heat the oven on Gas Mark 4 (180°C), place the sausages on a baking tray and place them in the oven.
2. Chop the cabbage into fine strips before boiling it in lightly salted water for approximately 15 minutes.
3. In the meantime, chop the onion and fry it in vegetable oil for a few minutes.
4. Add 2 crumbled vegetable stock cubes and stir.
5. Add the tin of chopped tomatoes and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
6. When the cabbage is tender, drain it and place it in a lightly buttered roasting tray. (Note: before draining the cabbage, keep a cupful of the water you boiled it in, to add to the roasting tray later).
7. Pour the onion and tomato sauce on top.
8. Fold in 2-3 tbsp of tomato puree.
9. Season according to taste, and generously sprinkle finely chopped dill on top before folding in.
10. Add 2-3 bay leaves.
11. Pour the water you kept when boiling the cabbage into the roasting tray, to prevent the cabbage from sticking to the bottom during cooking.
12. Give everything a good mix.
13. Take the half-cooked sausages out of the oven and place them on top of your cabbage.
14. Place the roasting tray in the oven at Gas Mark 5 (190°C) for approximately 25 minutes. You may have to stir the cabbage and turn the sausages over during cooking, to prevent them from drying out.
