Frying Pan Sausage Hotpot Recipes

MARY BERRY'S SAUSAGE AND RED PEPPER HOT POT

Steps:

• 1. You will need a large, deep frying pan or sauté pan with a lid or a flameproof casserole dish. Heat the oil in the pan over a high heat. Add the sausages and fry them until browned on all sides, then set them aside. Add the bacon and fry for a few minutes until crisp, then set aside. 2. Add the onion, pepper, carrot and garlic to the pan and fry for 5 minutes over a high heat. Pour in the stock, tomatoes and tomato paste, then add the thyme sprigs. Bring to the boil, add the potatoes and season with salt and pepper. 3. Turn the heat down to a simmer and return the bacon and sausages to the pan. Cover and simmer on the hob for about 20 minutes. Remove the lid and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes until the sauce has reduced a little and the sausages and vegetables are tender. Serve in bowls, with a green vegetable. Prepare ahead: Can be made up to 8 hours ahead. Bring to the boil to reheat.

FRYING-PAN SAUSAGE HOTPOT

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium frying pan (one the sausages will fit in fairly snugly). Add the sausages and fry for 8-10 mins, turning them often. Turn the grill to high. Splash a couple of tablespoons of red wine into the pan if you are using it, then pour in the stock and stir in the caramelised red onions. Allow the mixture to bubble for 3-4 mins, so it thickens a little and turns into a rich gravy. Remove from the heat.
• Spread the potatoes so they roughly cover the sausages and gravy. Put the frying pan under the grill for about 8 mins until the potatoes turn crisp and golden. Serve while bubbling and hot - there is no need to add seasoning.
