John is a huge fan of sausages, me, not so much. While we have been in lock down I have been experimenting with making sausages. Boerewors for my South African roots and some pork and apple sausages. I have about six kilograms of sausages taking up space in the freezer now! This dish is a sunny, summer sausage casserole with a rich tomato taste. Perfect for a quick midweek meal. I used pork and herb chipolatas for this one, but any sausages will work.
