Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Scatter the onions, prunes and bay leaves in the base of a large roasting tin. Season and mix in half the oil. Lay the sausages on top in a single layer and drizzle over the remaining oil. Mix the wine and cassis and pour around the sausages. Roast in the hot oven for about 40 minutes, turning the sausages occasionally so they colour evenly. Make sure the prunes are not on top or they’ll burn – once the sausages are cooked and the wine sauce is reduced and sticky, you can stir things around so that the prunes are more visible.
- Meanwhile, mix all the gremolata ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
- Take the sausages in the roasting tin to the table or transfer to a warm serving dish and scatter over the gremolata. Serve with the lentils and potatoes.
