Sausages Braised with Cider & Smoky Bacon
A very simple but very delicious dish to make – pork and cider were made for each other!  This dish is best served with a hearty pile of mash!

Serves 4
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time:  45 minutes



Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
12 good quality pork sausages
180g smoked bacon or pancetta, chopped
1 onion, peeled and sliced
1 tbsp plain flour
500ml cider
1 tsp Dijon mustard
a handful parsley, chopped
mashed potato, to serve

Preparation method

1. In a large frying pan heat the olive oil.  Add the sausages and cook until they are browned all over and set aside.

2. Add the bacon and onion the pan and cook for 5-7 minutes, stir occasionally until golden.  Now add the flour and cook for a further minute, then stir in the cider.  Bring to the boil and then simmer for 2 minutes, stir in the mustard.
