Earthy beetroot contrasts with sharp apples and tangy cider in this sausage stew. Prepare all the elements while the sausages brown and the onions sweat down, then you can leave it bubbling away while you enjoy a glass of wine.

Method
- Heat the oil in a large lidded casserole dish over a medium heat. Add the sausages and cook for 5 minutes until browned all over, then lift them out onto a plate. Tip the onions into the pan with a pinch of salt and cook over a low medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the beetroot (both the stalks and roots) and cook for 10 minutes.
- Increase the heat a little and add the cider. Let it simmer for a few minutes then pour in the stock. Stir in the potato, mustard and sage (reserving a few leaves to serve). Return the sausages to the pan. Cover and simmer over a low medium heat for 25 min.
- Stir in the apples and simmer without the lid on for about 10 minutes, until the sauce has reduced a little and the veg are tender. Season to taste, shred the reserved sage leaves and scatter them over to serve.
