Ingredients

  • 60 ml (¼ cup) olive oil
  • 4 onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 fresh bay leaves
  • 8 thyme sprigs
  • 1 anchovy fillet, chopped
  • 100 g black olives
  • 8 (about 1 kg) pork and fennel sausages, or similar
  • crusty bread, roast potatoes or cooked polenta, to serve

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C. Heat oil in a large, heavy-based pan over medium heat, and cook the onions, bay leaves and half the thyme, stirring regularly, for 15 minutes or until onions are light golden. Add the anchovy fillet and cook for a further 2 minutes or until melted. Stir in olives and remaining thyme.

Arrange the sausages in the onion mixture and bake, turning halfway, for 20 minutes or until the sausages are golden and cooked through.

Serve hot with crusty bread, roasted spuds or even polenta.
