Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

In a deep, heavy based ovenproof casserole dish, fry the onion, garlic and chillies in a little olive oil. Once soft, add the sausages.

Cook for a few minutes then add all the other ingredients – do not add additional water with the stock cubes, crumble them in. Add the extra vegetables, if using.

Cover and bake for 11/2 hours. In the last 30 minutes of cooking time, check the liquid level, as you may need to add boiling water.

Check the seasoning and serve scattered with fresh herbs.
