Most of the stuff that I cook, I make up the recipe as I go along, based on what I find in the cupboard, and it's quite difficult to make the same thing twice. I think this is the recipe for a veggie sausage casserole that I made a couple of weeks ago:
One pack cauldron Veggie sausages
One onion
One leek
Two carrots
Half a swede
A not-too-big head of broccoli
Half a glass of red wine
Some tomato puree
A tin of haricot beans (drained)
A tin of chopped tomatoes
A crumbled veggie stock cube
Some dried thyme
Cut the veggie sausages into approx 2 cm slices, and fry them in a little oil until brown. Put to one side.
Cut the onion, leek, carrots, swede and broccoli into approx 2 cm chunks, and fry them in about 15 ml oil in a large frying pan for about ten minutes, then add the red wine and cook with the lid on over a medium heat until the carrots and swede begin to soften (about five to ten minutes).
Add the tomato puree to the pan and mix it in, then add the cooked veggie sausages and the drained tin of beans. Cook with the lid on for another five minutes.
Finally add the other ingredients and mix them in, then cook, covered, for five to ten minutes, then uncover the pan and cook over a higher heat for another five minutes. If the sauce starts getting too thick, add a little more red wine.
Serve with a baked potato and the rest of the bottle of red wine.
I guess you could use meaty sausages instead of veggie ones if you wanted, but make sure they're good quality ones that don't contain loads of lumps and fat.
