sausage type of casserole with passatta??? how???

[mrsjingles]

Hi,

for tea I am thinking of as the title says - 'sausage type of casserole'!. I have a jar of passatta and wondered if I bung it in with some sausages, onions & mushrooms, maybe some flagelot beans or similar - would it work and taste nice??? any thoughts.

It sounds alright to me, but sometimes when I think things sound alright, they taste definately not alright!! I'm not a natural in the department of knowing what makes a nice meal, without a specific recipe.

Yeah it sounds fine you could add some red wine as well to add richness.

sounds good to me. very similar to what we do quite often.

Sounds good. Put some garlic in as well if you all like it - and we usually add diced celery and carrot to this sort of casserole too.
What sort of sausages are they though? Some types of traditional English recipe bangers are not going to be good with tomato, eg Lincolnshire...

don't forget to brown sausages first

if you have a tin of baked beans bung them in too (can also add other pulses like chickpeas

a sprinkle of mixed herbs is all you'd need (tsp?)

cover and bake for about an hour

I do sausages in passata, with big chunks of onion, whole mushrooms and rough chunks of potato (par boiled).

Served with fresh bread rolls dripping in butter.

AND I do it with Lincolnshire sausages.

Bloody lovely.

Or you could brown the sausages, place them in a casserole dish mix with baked beans top with chopped fried onions , top this with slices of cheese and put mashed potato on top and stick in the oven, it tastes lovely and is very simple.

Meant to say chop sausages into slices as well.

thanks so much for the replies, I feel quite chuffed with myself that it's actually going to taste nice!! lovely ideas for variations on it aswell. Mumsnet is soooo helpful.

Really St George? It must have been the type we had, because ours didn't go well with a tomato sauce at all . In fact, they were duds all round.
Bon appetit Mrsjingles!

i only eat irish sausages, never lincolnshire ones. they got this strange things in??? i dont know what[blsuh]

Sage?

The ones we had were way too heavy on the sage, StG - that's what it was. Organic butchers, usually v. reliable, but I think they must have wigged out last week. Sage is not a herb I like especially and it was overpowering.
