Ingredients
- 4 potatoes, about 125-150g each
- ½ medium butternut squash, peeled and deseeded
- 1 garlic bulb
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 5 rosemary sprigs
- 2 medium red onions
- 8 venison sausages
- 1 x 200g pack Tenderstem broccoli
- 3 tbsp redcurrant jelly
- 1 tbsp red wine vinegar
Step by step
-
Preheat the oven to 220°C, fan 200°C, gas 7. Cut each potato into 6 wedges, the squash into roughly 2cm-thick wedges and separate the garlic into cloves, still in their skins. Toss together in a large roasting tin with 1½ tablespoons oil and some seasoning. Spread out evenly in the tray. Roast for 15 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, set aside 1 sprig of rosemary, and cut the red onions into 8 wedges through each root. Toss the rest of the rosemary sprigs and the onion wedges with the sausages and 1 tablespoon of oil in a bowl.
-
After the initial 15 minutes, add the sausage and onion mixture to the roasting tin, stir everything together and return to the oven to cook for 25-30 minutes until starting to brown.
-
While the sausages and veg are cooking, add the Tenderstem to a pan of boiling water, return to the boil and cook for 1-2 minutes until only just tender. Refresh in cold water, then drain really well and toss with ½ tablespoon oil. Set aside.
-
Gently heat the redcurrant jelly and vinegar together in a small pan for 2 minutes until combined and slightly thickened. Chop the reserved rosemary and stir into the glaze with some seasoning. Set aside.
-
Mix the Tenderstem broccoli into the roasting tin, and drizzle the glaze over everything, but especially over the sausages. Roast for a final 10-15 minutes until everything looks deliciously sticky.
