I got this recipe off a Nigel Slater show and slightly adapted it, and it is one that I find extremely tasty every time I make it.

It's a lovely, cosy, warming recipe coming into the colder months.

This is a recipe for 4 people, but of course you can alter the amounts of sausages and veg according to appetites.

For the sausages:
8 pork sausages
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp grain mustard
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
3 tbsp runny honey

- Pre-heat the oven at 200C.
- Lay the sausages in an oven-proof dish.
- Mix the lemon juice, mustards and honey well, and pour over the sausages.
- Cook the sausages for around 30 minutes, ensuring you check on them every 10 minutes to roll them about in the honey/mustard mixture and coat them in it.

For the mash:
500g carrots
500g parsnip
A good handful of flat leaf parsley
A good knob of butter

- Steam or boil the vegetables until tender.
- Mash the veg with the butter.
- Mix in the chopped/torn parsley.


Separate the mash onto 4 plates and place the sausages on top. The sausages should be glossy and coated with the mixture; slightly sticky and caramelised.
