If you’re not too fed up with sausages and bacon after the festivities, then here is a winter warmer for these cold January months.
Ingredients: Serves 4
4 x Lincs sausages
4 x Rashes of bacon – chopped
3 cloves garlic (crushed)
2 sprigs of sage
4 onions finely chopped
2 carrots (2cm cubes)
1tbsp olive oil
30g butter
Salt and pepper
1tbsp cornflour
500ml chicken stock
1tbsp white wine vinegar
30ml red wine
One medium French baguette
English mustard (optional)
50g parmesan (grated)
Method:
Pre-heat grill. Cook the sausages and bacon in a large casserole dish or Dutch oven on a medium heat until brown all over. Once done, slice the sausages into chunks and set aside.
Add in the butter, onions and carrots and season with salt and pepper.
Sweat this off for around five minutes then add in the garlic and reduce the heat until your onions are nice and caramelised but not burnt (10 minutes or so).
Add in the cornflour, vinegar, chicken stock, sage and red wine and then add in your sausages and bacon too. Cover with a lid and leave to gently simmer for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, slice your baguette and brush with oil or butter on one side and spread the mustard on the other.
Pop under the grill to toast each side and then layer onto the top of the cooked casserole mix. Sprinkle with the grated cheese and serve immediately at the table.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
