Sausage, Apple and Root Veg Traybake

Bring a large saucepan of water with 1/2 tsp salt to the boil for the potatoes. 

Meanwhile, pop the onion, carrot and apple into a large ovenproof baking dish. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.

Place the sausages on top of the veg, then roast on the middle shelf of your oven until the veg is tender and the sausages are cooked through, 30-35 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw sausages. They're cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Meanwhile, when the water is boiling, add the potatoes to the pan and cook until you can easily slip a knife through, 15-20 mins.

Pour the water for the jus (see pantry for amount) into another small saucepan. Bring to the boil on high heat.

Stir in the red wine jus paste, then reduce the heat to medium-high. Allow the sauce to bubble and thicken, stirring regularly, 7-8 mins.

Once thickened, remove from the heat. 

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain in a colander and return to the pan, off the heat.

Add a knob of butter and a splash of milk (if you have any) and mash until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to  keep warm.
