Ingredients:

  • 400g (about 6 large) good quality sausages
  • 1tbs light olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 100g pearl barley, rinsed
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • pinch dried crushed chillies or chilli powder
  • 1 vegetable stock cube, plus 500ml boiling water
  • 3 carrots, peeled and sliced diagonally into 3 or 4 pieces
  • 1 red pepper, roughly diced
  • 400g carton/tin chopped tomatoes
  • 150ml Eisberg Rosé
  • few sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • black pepper

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/Gas 5.
  2. Place the sausages on a baking tray and cook for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through and golden then set aside.
  3. Meanwhile heat the oil in a large saucepan or lidded ovenproof dish and fry the onion for 2-3 minutes. Then stir in the barley, oregano, chilies and 400ml of the stock.
  4. Bring to a simmer, cover with a lid then either place in the oven for 20 minutes or turn down the heat and cook on the hob for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally and add a little more of the stock if required.
  5. Add the carrots, red pepper, chopped tomatoes and alcohol-free Rosé, re-cover and cook for a further 20 minutes.
  6. Check that the barley is tender. Slice each of the sausages into about 3 pieces and add to the dish with the parsley and a good grind of black pepper. Heat through and serve.
