- 2 tbsp tahini
- 150ml extra virgin olive oil
- 1 red onion
- 200ml water
- 1 stock cube/1 tbsp gravy granules
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7.
- Chop up the courgette, peppers and aubergine into bite-sized pieces. Place on a large roasting tray, season generously and drizzle with 100ml of the olive oil.
- Place the sausages on a separate baking tray and place in the oven. Cook the vegetables and sausages for 50 mins. Turn the vegetables occasionally and add more oil and seasoning if necessary.
