Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 12 good-quality pork sausages
  • 2 medium onions
  • 2 celery
  • 3 medium carrots
  • 500ml/18fl oz India p aleale
  • ½ beef stock
  • 2 tbsp tomato purée
  • 2 tbsp light muscovado sugar
  • 1 bay leaf
  • splash Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 medium leeks
  • 1 tbsp cornflour
  • 1 tsp flaked sea salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry the sausages over a medium heat for 8-10 minutes, turning regularly until nicely browned all over. Transfer the sausages to a large flameproof casserole or your biggest saucepan.
  • Add the onions, celery and carrots to the frying pan and cook over a medium-high heat, stirring regularly, for five minutes or until beginning to soften and lightly colour. You shouldn’t need any extra fat to fry the vegetables, but if you do, just add a splash more sunflower oil. Tip the vegetables into the pan with the sausages.
  • Pour the ale and 150ml/5fl oz water into the casserole and crumble the stock cube over the top. Stir in the tomato purée, sugar, bay leaf and a splash of Worcestershire sauce. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat, cover with a lid and simmer gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the leeks to the casserole and simmer uncovered for five minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix the cornflour with a tablespoon of cold water until smooth. Stir into the casserole and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly until the sauce has thickened.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, season with salt and pepper and sprinkle the chopped parsley over.
