Prepping The Vegetables

Prep The Vegetables – Peel the potatoes, shallots, and sweet potatoes. Then half and core the bell peppers, making sure to remove the seeds. Cut the potatoes, bell peppers, and sweet potatoes into medium-sized pieces (about 5cm or 2 inches square).

Place the potatoes, bell peppers, and sweet potatoes into a bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Remove the fresh herbs from their stalks and add to the bowl. Drizzle in about 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and mix well.

I use Himalayan pink mineral salt and freshly ground black pepper. Himalayan pink has a savory flavor due to the mineral content and nothing beats Freshly ground pepper from a pepper mill.

Place them into a baking tray lined with parchment paper and into the oven for 20 minutes. Turn the vegetables and roast for 20 minutes more. By now they should be caramelized, soft, and sweet.

Chefs Pro Tip — Adding the fresh herbs at the beginning of the roasting process. The herbs will impart their herbaceous flavor to the vegetables adding another layer of flavor. This way of cooking roasted vegetables will have the pickiest of eaters enjoying these herbaceous morsels.

Shallots And Garlic – Place the shallots and garlic onto aluminum foil, and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle in about 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and add 3-4 sprigs of fresh thyme. Wrap them up in the foil, and place them into the oven for 25-30 minutes.

Wrapping Food In Aluminum Foil

Wrapping food in aluminum foil (Papillote) and baking in the oven is a process I use to cook onions, shallots, and garlic.

This steams them and I can add other flavors like thyme, rosemary, or olive oil. This will release a highly flavored oil that can be mixed into the roasted vegetables.

It is generally recommended to place the shiny side of the aluminum foil facing outward when cooking shallots, onions, garlic, or any food for that matter.

This is because the shiny side reflects heat, which can help to evenly steam the food. The dull side of the foil when on the outside absorbs heat and can cause food to burn in certain areas.

Chefs Pro Tip — Wrapping and cooking the shallots and garlic in foil will steam them they will become sweet and delicious without becoming over caramelized and chewy. This is a fantastic way of cooking onions, shallots, and garlic. Always make sure the shiny side of the foil is on the outside.

Pan Frying The Sausages

Pan-Fry The Sausages – Heat a pan to medium heat, and drizzle in about 1-2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.

Place in the sausages and cook for around 20 minutes, turning often so they don’t burn. When done remove from the pan onto absorbent paper and let rest for 2-3 minutes.

Making Homemade Gravy

Making gravy from scratch is a handy skill to have in your cooking repertoire. Firstly you’re going to need some stock, the easiest and cheapest way is to make your own vegetable stock. This is easy to do and will take less than 30 minutes.

Making The Gravy – Scrap all the drippings from the tray that the vegetables were roasted in into the pan that the sausages were cooked in. Add 1-2 tablespoons of plain flour and mix to make a roux.

Cook out the flour for 2 minutes, then slowly add the vegetable stock bit by bit while whisking until the gravy has thickened slightly. Simmer for at least 5 minutes and adjust the seasoning.

Chefs Pro Tip — Adding the vegetable stock bit by bit ensures that you don’t add too much and make the gravy too thin. If you make the gravy too thin you can mix a little flour with some water and slowly add to the gravy while whisking. Raito of flour to water 1:4 (1 tablespoon of flour to 4 tablespoons of water).

Plating The Pork And Fennel Sausages With Herb-Roasted Vegetables

Plating – Mixed the roasted vegetables with the cooked shallots and garlic and any leftover oils from the foil. With the back of a large spoon crush the vegetables and mix them together. Portion them onto 4 plates and add the sausages on top.

Now spoon over the gravy and garnish with fresh thyme, or you can just leave it as it is and serve. My recipe of pork and fennel sausages with herb-roasted vegetables is a banger that the whole family will thank you for.
