Sticky Marmalade Sausage Bake (Vegan)

 A hearty sausage and vegetable bake coated in a rich, sticky sauce made with marmalade.

STICKY MARMALADE SAUSAGE BAKE (VEGAN)

This is one I promised to share and I finally got around to it.

The sticky marinade in this bake is sweet and spicy and rather fabulous. 

Everything is coated in it, but it tends to sink to the bottom while cooking, but that's ok, everything is well coated and as long as it's scooped up with the sausages and vegetables life is good.

My husband spent ages trying to make sure he got all and I mean all of the marinade out of the dish, including the little bits at the edges that almost turned into toffee.

We loved this bake.

MARMALADE

The secret to the sticky sauce is marmalade.

The marmalade is mixed with soy sauce and spices to make the most heavenly glaze.

To make the marmalade more spreadable, especially if it's just come out of the fridge, warm it in the microwave or in a small pot.

This will help when it comes to brushing it on the sausages and veg.

VEGAN SAUSAGES

I added 9 sausages to this casserole for 3 of us, but you can add 12 for 4 people or 15 for 5 people. 

You can add extra veg and make more marinade too. You may need a bigger casserole dish.

I used Linda McCartney sausages in my bake, which are a favourite in this house, but you can use your favourite sausages.

SAUSAGE BAKE VEGETABLES

I included mushrooms, red onions and beetroot in this bake. 

It was supposed to have parsnips too but I totally forgot to add them. You could add parsnips if you like.

The large closed cup mushrooms I used, were peeled and cut in half. You want big pieces of mushroom for roasting as they do shrink as they cook.

I used red onion for it's sweetness when roasted. I peeled it, cut it in half and then into thick slices.

The beetroot was peeled, halved and cut into thick slices too.

The earthiness and sweetness of these vegetables worked really well in the bake.

WHY IS STICKY SAUSAGE BAKE SO GOOD?

1. It has so much flavour.
2. It's a healthy bake with plenty of veg and protein from the sausages.
3. It's easy to make. 
4. It's all made in one dish.
5. There's no pre-cooking.
6. It can be varied with different vegetables.
7. It can be kept mild and full of flavour or you can edge up the heat with some chilli.
8. It's easy enough to make midweek, but makes a great weekend dish.
9. It's good with mashed potato, boiled potatoes or roast potatoes.
10. It's a good excuse to get the gravy going.

HOW TO SERVE STICKY SAUSAGE BAKE

I served this sausage casserole with boiled potatoes, spring greens (cabbage) and onion gravy (I used Bisto Gravy Granules, which are suitable for vegans), but you can serve this bake in so many ways.

Here are a few ideas of how to serve it:

1. With roast potatoes, vegetables and gravy.
2. On toasted rolls or pitta with hummus and spinach.
3. With mashed potatoes and a fresh tomato sauce.
4. With a baked potato & cheese.
5. As part of a cooked breakfast with fried potatoes, tomatoes and baked beans.
6. With chips and peas.
7. With couscous or bulgur wheat.
8. With flatbread and hummus.
9. With buttered crusty bread.
10. With a fork and a smile.

HOW LONG WILL STICKY MARMALADE SAUSAGE BAKE KEEP?

You can keep cooled leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days in an airtight container and reheat in the microwave or the oven.

WHAT TO DO WITH LEFTOVERS?

If and I say if, you have leftovers, why not serve them for lunch in a sandwich or wrap with salad.

You could also chop it up and serve it through couscous or as a pasta salad for lunch.

STEP 1

Preheat your oven.

Add your sausages to a large casserole dish or roasting pan.

I used frozen Linda McCartney sausages, but you can use your favourite sausages.

STEP 2

Add your peeled and sliced, uncooked beetroot to the dish.

STEP 3

Add peeled and thickly sliced red onion.

Try to keep everything in a single layer as much as possible.

STEP 4

Add your halved mushrooms to the dish.

Oh this is going to be good!

STEP 6

Soften marmalade by warming it in the microwave or in a small pot on the cooker.

The marinade will be easier to brush on if you take the time to warm the marmalade.

STEP 7

Add soy sauce and spices to the marmalade to make the marinade.

You could also add chilli powder or chilli flakes at this stage if you want a bit of heat too.

STEP 8

Give the marinade ingredients a good mix.

That's it, that's your marinade made. Simple isn't it and it will make the sausages taste lush.

STEP 9

Brush the marinade over the sausages and vegetables.

Now be generous, use it all! It might seem like a lot, but you want it all in there, trust me.

Season the bake with salt and pepper and sprinkle thyme over the top.

STEP 10

Bake until the sausages and vegetables are well cooked and starting to brown.

Serve with potatoes, cabbage and onion gravy.

Enjoy!
