Paprika Sausage Supper

The tangy crunch of dill pickle provides a delicious contrast to this goulash-style dish.

Paprika Sausage Supper

Preparation time 20 minutes
Cooking time 1 hour 20 minutes
Calories per portion 401 Kcal
Fat per portion 26g of which saturated 8.3g
Serves 4
Suitable for freezing

Good-quality pork sausages 8
Onions 2 large, peeled, each cut into 6 lengthways
Garlic 2–3 cloves, peeled and crushed
Green peppers 2, deseeded and thickly sliced
Sweet paprika 1 tbsp
Plain flour 1 tbsp
Chicken stock 300ml (½ pint)
Chopped tomatoes 400g can
Soured cream
Sliced dill pickled cucumbers cut into thin strips
Chopped parsley

1 Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/Gas 4. Heat a large flameproof casserole and cook the sausages until they are lightly browned. Remove and set aside.

2 Add the onions, garlic and peppers to the pan and cook them gently until they are slightly softened. Then stir in the paprika, flour, stock and tomatoes and bring to the boil.

3 Return the sausages to the pan, coat well with sauce and cover the surface with greaseproof paper. Cover the pan with its lid, then cook in the oven for 1–1¼ hours.

4 Before serving, skim off the excess fat. Top with soured cream, dill pickled cucumbers and parsley and serve immediately with thick slices of a French loaf for mopping up the juices.

Cook’s tip
Supermarkets sell a wide range of flavoured sausages. Garlicky Toulouse sausages, chillied sausages, or venison sausages could also be used for a stronger tasting dish.

Mum’s bread pudding

A pair of blackbirds frequent our garden – enticed in by the ground feed and crumbled bread I put out for them no doubt.

They nested in the shrubs at the bottom of my neighbour’s garden earlier in the year and I think they may have another brood.

Haven’t seen the female for a few days, but then I haven’t seen the male popping into the bushes, beak full of tasty morsels, either! Maybe it’s just wishful thinking – hope the local moggies haven’t got her!

The birds do like the bread and it is a bit special – baked on the premises by an Italian baker about five minutes’ walk away.

How lucky is that! It’s wonderful fresh, so I tend to get a large loaf every two days (makes good toast on the second day), which means there’s often some left. I have been giving it to the birds but I’m wondering about making some bread pudding.

Bread pudding

Cherry Bread PuddingMy mother had the world’s best recipe, which she wrote down for me centuries ago and I now can’t find.

I haven’t thrown it away so it’s here somewhere and one day I’ll find it! Meantime I was flicking through my copy of the Dairy Diary and came across a recipe for Cherry Bread Puddings.

From the picture they look fantastic, so I’ll give them a go. Who knows, they man run my mum’s a close second!
