Ingredients

  • 450 gms – 1 lb. red bell pepper cleaned and thickly sliced
  • 450 gms – 1 lb. medium potatoes peeled and cut into 6 pieces
  • 450 gms – 1 lb. Italian pork sausage roughly chopped
  • ½ onion roughly sliced
  • 1 garlic clove crushed
  • 100 ml – 1/3 cup tomato puree
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 5 basil leaves
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Put the bell pepper, potatoes, onion, garlic, basil leaves, tomato puree, extra virgin olive oil and salt in a big bowl and mix well.
  2. Put the mixture into a baking dish. Top with the chopped sausage and mix.
  3. Cover with aluminium foil and bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°C – 350°F for 40 to 60 minutes or until the sausage is cooked through and the potatoes are golden. Halfway through the cooking time, remove the aluminium foil from the baking dish and keep cooking.
  4. Serve warm with some crusty bread (like my easy ciabatta).

Recipe Notes

The exact cooking time will depend mainly on the thickness of the sausage you are using. The ticker the sausage, the longer it will take to cook.
