Anyone got any good sausage recipes ?

Got 8 Cumberland sausages and my usual sausage in tomato sauce with pasta or sausage, chips and beans is getting boring 🤷

PS. I haven't got an air fryer.
 
Tonight I am making cumberland sausages with puy lentils and onion gravy. Far better than it sounds. Puy lentils are also called green lentils. Boil them for about 20 minutes. They don't turn to mush like yellow lentils and stay quite firm and nutty.

Onion gravy. Chop an onion into rings, fry it in butter (or oil) until nice and soft.
For the gravy, I usually use beef stock cube/oxo and a good dash of oyster sauce then give it plenty of time to simmer down. You can stir in some cornflour if it's still too thin. Lee & Perrins and english mustard powder (1/2 tsp) can replace the oyster sauce. Oyster sauce is a bit of a magic ingredient for any meaty sauce. It adds savoury (umami), a little sweetness and some thickening.
 
Sausage traybake. There's loads of recipes on the internet - variations on putting sausages and a mix of roast-able veg (potato, onion, pepper, broccoli..) in a roasting tin with some oil and flavourings (herbs, spices, garlic) and roasting in a hot oven until its all caramelised and lovely.
 
I discovered this one over the summer. Serves two. Four sausages cut up, a bag of gnocchi, a red pepper cut into strips and a good glug of olive oil. All in an oven tray, shaken up so the oil covers everything then cook for 25-30 minutes, 180-200°. Serve with either warm crusty bread or some green veg.
 
Toad in the hole. Fry them for a bit. Make some batter and chuck into the oven with the sausages. Serve with onion gravy.

Or cook them and add the chopped up to a tomatoey risotto. With what ever veg you have lying around. Grate a little cheese on top when serving.

Or make posh hotdogs with onions and perhaps some smashed avocado (if you are young enough to be allowed avocado).

Or add chopped up to some cous cous, with some zingy herbs and spices. (this takes almost no effort at all, and hence a favourite of mine)
